Buying a new Mazda MX-5 - Which model is best?
I have been looking at a new MX-5 (current model), as there are some good deals around. I originally thought the 1.8 Sport Venture Roadster, but then wondered if it worth paying extra for the Roadster Coupe with the 2.0 engine?

The 2.0 6-speed is well worth the extra money. Takes it from a hairdressers drop-top to a proper sports car.

I currently own a 2003 Vauxhall Zafira which is reliable and faultless and in daily use. I wish to buy a replacement but am concerned about the issue causing these cars to catch fire.
How new do I need...
I own a 2008 Golf Match with the 1.4 TSI (122) engine and have been impressed with the car and engine. Is the MKVI a good used buy in similar spec and should I consider going for the 160ps 1.4 TSI engine?...
We are looking to buy a new Citroen DS3 Cabrio in the next few weeks; however, the dealer tell us that the DS2 will be launched soon and the DS3 could be axed. Is this true?

A great sports car. Incredibly nimble. Responsive steering. Easy to live with day to day. Comparatively inexpensive to run. Roof is easy to fold down.
