What's your opinion of the Opel Insignia?
Hi there.
What your opinion of the Opel Insignia? What kind of common weaknesses does it have? And what parts need to be changed regularly? For example I have B5 Volkswagen Passat. From my experience I can say that suspension (independent) is not good for Irish roads therefore it's a weakness of this car. But engine is good - never had troubles (200,000 miles).
Thanks in advance

Volkswagen Golf or Skoda Octavia?
I am looking at upgrading my car to a one or two-year-old Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI Highline or a Skoda Octavia 1.6 TDI Elegance. There is as you know a price difference, but which would be the better buy? Should I look at something else?

When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
Late in September I ordered a new Renault Clio for delivery at the beginning of this month. In early October I changed the colour to white, which was not a problem to the dealer. I was informed last week that it would not be available until the end of this month. Since then I've seen on the Renault website that they are now charging €540 extra for a white Clio, whereas when I placed my order the extra charge did not apply to white. However, as my original order was for a colour that carried the extra charge I would not be surprised if the dealer tried to hit me for this extra and consequently am wondering when precisely Renault introduced it.
Thanks, E K Dublin
