Will I swap my Velar for a Nissan Qashqai?
I am currently driving a 2021 Range Rover Velar PHEV, which I bought new. It has only covered 8,500 miles to date. It's in perfect condition. Silver metallic paintwork, with black top and it also has a full fixed-glass roof with automatic blind.
I was thinking of changing for a Nissan Qashqai e-Power hybrid, or a Mazda MX-30 with the petrol engine to charge the battery. This seems to be a big improvement on the original launch model which had a very limited range.
I may be moving to an apartment which does not have a car-charging facility, and I am not quite ready to go fully electric yet.
I have a buyer interested in my Velar and I was wondering what value you would put on it, if I was to sell privately, and purchase the new car in a straight deal?

Do we buy now or later?
We are giving our Passat estate (2012) to our daughter when she returns from overseas in Sept. The question is: should we purchase our own preferred replacement car soon, when one comes up, leaving the Passat unused for a few months, or should we keep using the Passat and buy in September, when perhaps our favoured car may not be available?

Will I buy an MGS5 EV or something else?
Hi,
I am looking at changing my car, but no idea what to get. Mostly there would be only two adult passengers. I travel about 80km a day. Was looking at the MGS5 EV (If I go electric, I would like a range of around 350-400km).
Any suggestion of cars to have a look at or consider would be much appreciated.

My thoughts on the Dacia Bigster pricing...
Got a quote from a dealer for the Dacia Bigster of €36,900 for Expression trim, the 1.8-litre hybrid version. I think they are pricing themselves out of the market . Why is this car so many different prices all over Europe (and believe it or not we are in Europe too).
Sorry but just short of 40K for a Dacia doesn't compute to me!

Looking to buy an EV for about €25,000...
I'm looking to buy my first EV but not sure which is best value, performance, warranty, most suitable for family of five that, alongside city driving can also travel on 400km trips about 10 times per year and 1,000km drive once per year.
Looking for advice please. My budget is about €25,000.
Thank you.

Is the Peugeot 5008 PHEV coming to Ireland?
Hi all,
Love reading the reviews. Are there any plans for Peugeot to sell the plug-in-hybrid 5008 here in Ireland and if yes when is it expected to be available to order?
I'm a company car driver and the plug-in hybrid would be the best of both worlds for me trying to keep BIK costs down as electric would just not work for me or my job.
