Is it possible to get a small hatch to fit bikes in for under €10,000?
If you had up to €10k to spend on a hatchback with low running costs (small diesel ideally) with enough room for a couple of bikes in the back, what would you spend your money on?

Ford Mondeo or Volkswagen Passat for an auto diesel?
Hi,
I'm currently looking to purchase either a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Powershift or a Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI DSG. Looking at year ranges from 2007-10. Can you please advise on both cars in terms of smoothness of gear change and fuel economy? Also, If I do purchase a 2008 or above model can you tell me the road tax based on emissions for both cars?
Thanks

What should I replace my Toyota Verso with?
What should I replace my Toyota Verso with? I have a 2006 model with 130,000 kilometres on the clock. I no longer need a seven-seater and I want a car that can be used for both commuting (50km a day) and family (two kids). My budget is €6k on top of my existing car. What is your recommendation?
Thanks in advance, Rao

Hi lads,
Quick question: I'm looking for an ultra reliable car, as seem very unlucky with every car I get. Peugeot 407 at moment and all injectors to be replaced, latest drama. Looking closely at Toyota Avensis; are they as bomb proof as they say?
