Can you help me choose between these Audi A6s?
I have a choice of two cars, both Audi A6s. Both the same price-ish at €18,500 vs €19,000. One is a 2009 basic spec with 64,000km and a one-year warranty, the other is a 2010 S line model with 80,000km on the clock and a six-month warranty. I am not sure from a risk point of view what I should consider as the most important thing to look at.

Which automatic car for about €10,000?
Hi, I need to get an automatic car for a price in the region of €10k. Preferably economical and reliable but not a Micra type car. I am looking at 2008/9 Prius, 2008/9 Golf, 2010 Kia cee'd and 2011 Renault Fluence. I am edging towards the Fluence but I am getting the usual "you can't trust Renault, stick to German or Japanese cars" type comments.
Any thoughts on the topic?

I have €10,000 to spend on an executive car.
I have a budget of €10,000 to get a car. I was thinking BMW 318/320, Honda Accord, Volvo S40 2.0 07/08 etc. What would be your preference and should I go petrol/diesel with less than 8,000 miles annually?

Which secondhand SUV should I go for?
Which secondhand SUV should I go for? I'm getting more confused as my search goes on. I had my heart set on a Toyota RAV4. But now I realise I should widen my search. Which would you recommend, assuming similar miles and age (2007/08): Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Suzuki Grand Vitara or another (all between 35-50k miles)?. The cabin and feel of the RAV and Vitara seem very similar, but the later is €2/3k cheaper for 07/08 models, why?
Many thanks, Sharon

Can you help me choose which Toyota RAV4 to go for?
Which would you go for: an old Toyota RAV4 with lower mileage or a younger model with higher mileage (2007 with 26k for €10k or 2008 with 44k for €10,800). Also, auto or manual? Lastly, do they suffer from clutch issues? Test drove a 2008 version today and clutch was heavy.
