    Best options for small SUV or hatchback?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 31 January 2017

    You need to decide on whether you want an SUV or a hatch before you do anything else. The SUV gives you a better view of the road, is practical, and the CX-3 is a good choice, but hatches can also be attractive. I would rule out the Mazda2 in your case, as it would seem to be too small for your needs, but the 3, Corolla and i30 are all good cars that would deliver on the things you want.

    Toyota Corolla: Ascent vs Levin
    Answered by Graham Smith · 8 December 2016

    Either one is fine, both are 5-star safety rated, they're both economical, but the Levin is a sportier model and for that reason I would prefer the Ascent. You'll also find it's a little cheaper.

    Toyota Corolla 2008: Specifications
    Answered by Graham Smith · 25 November 2016

    I'm afraid the Corolla and Aurion are actually two separate models, but you'll find price and spec details on the 2008 Aurion here, and the 2008 Corolla here.

    If you want a workshop manual I would suggest you google Toyota workshop manuals, or go to ebay.

    Best first car options?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 11 November 2016

    Do not buy a Cruze, or buy a European brand. They will prove costly. It's best to go for the cars that are well proven over many years. The Lancer is a good one, but so too is the Toyota Yaris or Corolla, Suzuki Swift, Mazda2 or 3, or Mitsubishi Colt.

    Used small cars review: 2007-2010
    By Bill McKinnon · 22 September 2016
    You can save a motza on a late-model used car, because the first owner has already taken the biggest hit... usually 30-50 percent, in depreciation. Ideally, you want to be the second owner, and hang on to the car for a few years, to maximise the value you get from your motoring dollar. We've picked our top five used

    A good replacement for my Magna around $10k?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 15 September 2016

    I agree with your view of going Japanese for reliability. The Lancer would be one I would recommend, along with the Mazda3 and the Toyota Corolla. They're comfortable, fuel-efficient, safe, and have decent performance.
