5 Grand - Mazda 6, Renault Laguna or Citroen C5

We've got 5 grand for our next car. I fancy one of the following:* Mazda 6 * Renault Laguna What one should I go for? we do about 12k miles a year, mainly motorway. And petrol or diesel? I think an older diesel is more risky due to potential problems...

Thanks, Colm. I was thinking that way myself. I know I can check the NCT out at ncts.ie, but is there any way I can check out the mileage, history etc, for free?!

Picked up a Laguna 08, 200k km, cruise control and all the bells and whihstles, for €3350. Delighted.

Thanks for the tip :-)
