Is the 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.4 petrol a good car?
Hi is the 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.4 petrol a good car? It's a Terra model with 103,000km on the clock and is selling for €8,950. Does this price sound ok? It has alloys (Borbet) added. I test drove the car and while it wasnt the most exciting drive it felt better than some other 1.2-litre cars I drove. Is it fuel efficient compared to say a Ford Fiesta?
Thanks

Should I buy a diesel hatch for commuting?
Hi, I need a new car. I live in a rural area and drive to Dublin for work. I average 300km for work with approximately an additional 150km for leisure. I had a four-wheel drive Suzuki Jimny, but don't really need another off-roader (if weather/roads that bad I won't be driving). I want something sturdy and dependable - nothing fancy, maybe a second hand hatchback - would a diesel engine be a good option? Have a max of €7k to spend. Any suggestions?
Thanks
