What should I replace my Mercedes E-Class with?

I have a 2006 Mercedes-Benz E 200 Elegance Kompressor auto petrol and want to change for something more economical and with much lower tax. Was thinking of a BMW 320d auto or Audi A4 auto diesel. Would I get 2012 in either for €20,000 with my own? I really like the Citroen C4 Picasso diesel auto too but am worried about resale value. Any advice?

Thanks a lot.

Help: I need a small MPV to carry my three granddaughters!

Hello,

For financial reasons I have to sell my 2005 Citroen Xsara Picasso diesel. I really like the style of the car and therefore I would like to stick with Citroen. Vitally important though is: it MUST have three seat belts in the back. So I am looking for a smaller and cheaper to run vehicle. I will have about €2,000 to spend. Can you tell me what cars of under 1.6-litre have the required three seat belts? I have three grand-daughters!!!

Many thanks,

Sinéad L. Rush, Co. Dublin

Ok to replace my Santa Fe with a Kia Sportage?

Is the 2010/2011 Kia Sportage a good car in general? I'm changing from a Hyundai Santa Fe and need a comparably sized vehicle, though with lower tax as I do not need extra power for towing.
