choosing new car

Hi,

Just wondering if Lotus, Morgan and Great Wall are still available new on the Irish market or have they withdrawn. No new sales for Lotus or GWM this year yet and only one for Morgan.

Thank you

Do you have a review of the Skoda Elroq 85 (with or without Sportline)? Also, have you a comparison of the Elroq and Enyaq models by any chance?

Thanks

Do you have any update on specifications of the new upgraded 2025 Toyota bZ4X available from July 2025?

I'm buying a Mercedes GLC 220 d AMG Line with 20-inch wheels. Are they comfortable enough? They look good with aluminium side skirts. Or am I better getting the 19-inch wheels without side skirt? Also I'm getting the light-grey leather and I have been told it has been coated with a leather product to protect the seats; is this true?

Hi,

Should I change my 2024 VW Golf (three-cylinder 1.0-litre mild-hybrid) next year for a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder Golf or perhaps a 1.8 Toyota Corolla?

I want a car to keep indefinitely. I love my current Golf and would be happy to hold onto it but I have doubts about the long-term reliability of a three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine.

What do you think? Our annual milage is about 17,000km mainly town driving with a few mixed road journeys of 40-80km weekly plus the odd few longer road trips annually.

Thanks.

I drive a Toyota CH-R Sport 1.8, but I'm thinking of buying an Alfa Romeo Junior hybrid. I live in the countryside; which car would be more fuel efficient for me?

When is the Jaecoo 7 on sale in Ireland and do you know who will be the distributor?

I was living in the North when I bought my last new Audi A7. I saved a considerable sum by shopping around dealers. In RoI, do all Audi dealers stick to the website price or is it worth shopping around?

Audi Ireland only seems to offer a three-year general warranty. Is it possible to buy an extended warranty?

Yours was the best review I have read about the A6 Sportback e-tron. I live on top of a hill two miles from a main road and they do not grit here. I prefer quattro but also want max range - any advice as to how to choose between the quattro and the advance?

Sorry for the three questions!

Looking to get a 6+ seater for my big family. We've been driving a SEAT Tarraco of some description for five years but it's on the small side for our needs. Trying to nail down the best value offering on the market at the moment is proving difficult.

We've looked at the Mazda CX-80, Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Highlander in person, but also have the Kia Sorento/EV9, Ford Tourneo, Multivan etc. on our list to check out.

We'd be going with a PCP most likely. We currently run an i30 as well, so with any more than six people going together we need the two cars. Option of having a six-seater or pushing to an 8/9 van.

Any thoughts would be amazing.

Will the new MINI Countryman be sold as a PHEV?
