We have a Honda CR-V 1.6 diesel that we like and gives us about 55mpg. We also have a Mazda 1.6 diesel worth about £2K. Can you recomend a vehicle to replace the Mazda preferably second hand and smaller...
I'm thinking of buying a Volvo C30 as a second car (60,000 miles, 2009 - 2012), would you recommend this model and which diesel or petrol?
I fancy a Toyota Celica as a second car. Probably a T Sport 190 bhp (but not the GT with a big spoiler) 2005ish for approx £5,000 to £7,000. Should I buy with leather, is silver grey or red a good colour?...
Please can you recommend a good second hand car? We are looking for something fairly cheap to buy, low cost to insure for new drivers and mostly just used for around-town driving. My wife will drive it...
