I'd like a spare wheel and jack for my Hyundai...
I live in very rural Co. Donegal. In the past I have waited many hours for an AA breakdown van. I now drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5. I am reluctant to be at the mercy of a spray can or waiting for the AA if I have a puncture. Can you recommend a space saver spare wheel and preferably a scissor jack?

Should I buy a top-spec Kia Sportage from the North?
I've been looking at buying a new Kia Sportage hybrid, but I prefer the GT Line S spec offered in the UK to the Irish GT Line spec. Does the Irish Kia distributor allow for factory orders so as to give me a similar spec to GT Line S, or should I look at buying it in the North?
And if so, how much more expensive would you reckon it to be?

I'm considering buying a Renault 5...
I'm considering buying a Renault 5. This is a potential purchase made with my heart as much as my head. My parents ferried me to primary school in a 1985 Renault 5 TL that I still have fond memories of.
I'm currently driving a 2008 Volvo C30 2.0 diesel. I recently moved house, so my commute has halved and I'm now doing approx. 11,000 miles a year, making an EV a real choice for the first time.
However, I'm a complete technophobe and am afraid buying a brand-new EV will be too much of a jump for me from what I am used to.
Technically there's not much wrong with my Volvo. It is cheap to run and reliable even at 243,000 miles. However, I do hanker for something more modern and absolutely fell in love with the 5 from the first moment I looked at it.
Am I overthinking things or is EV ownership too much of a leap for someone who finds it difficult to work our air-to-water heating?

Why is our BMW X3 struggling on ice?
My wife has a 2005 BMW X3 2.5i and in Minnesota winter she can't make it up our driveway with a five-foot incline if there is snow and ice present. Today I watched her try to come up the driveway and watched the rear wheels spinning but the front wheels did not move; what does that mean?
