I'd like a reliable diesel SUV for about €15,000.
I am a Homecare Assistant (Homehelp) and I drive from 300km to 500km per week. All road types, mostly rural, some town driving, seldom motorway. The engine is turned on and off multiple times during the day. Average drive time between calls would be about 15 mins, for six to eight calls a day.
I'm hoping to get a diesel, but I don't know what size engine to go for, which is more economical and which is better for high mileage.
I'm looking at maybe a Hyundai Tucson or Kona. I haven't driven either yet.
I need a reliable, solid and economical car. I'm open to suggestions.
Budget about €15k.
Thank you in advance.

Is a GR Yaris more expensive to run than a Volvo SUV?
I'm seriously considering buying a Toyota Yaris GR Sport Circuit. I own a Volvo XC70. So which car would be more expensive to run?

Looking for a family SUV for €25,000...
Hi,
I am looking for an SUV that would fit two car seats and a booster base. I have one-year-old twins and a seven-year-old. Also need the boot space for a twin stroller. My budget is around €25k and my preference is to get a SUV and not a van shaped car like the VW Touran.
Any recommendations?

What will I ask for my Hyundai ix35?
Hi,
What is a good price to ask for my 2011 Hyundai ix35? It's a 1.7 diesel, very well kept and needs nothing.
Thank you

How much to bring in a crew-cab van from the UK
Hi,
I am just wondering if you could advise me on the cost of importing a crew cab van from the UK to Ireland. Ideally a 1.6 diesel Renault Trafic LWB with six seats, 2019ish with approx. 80,000km on the clock (priced at £13,000).
The Revenue website does not seem to have a drop down menu for this exact type of van and I'd like to somehow get a close cost of what this van would cost me in total to bring it into Ireland before I begin the process of purchasing one.
