Petrol or diesel BMW 3 Series GT?
I am interested in the BMW 3 Series GT, but unsure of which model would suit me. I drive about 10,000 miles per annum. Not sure whether I should go for petrol or diesel.

When is the new Nissan X-Trail out?
Any idea when a new Nissan X-Trail will be unveiled and on sale? I know a new Qashqai is coming but heard a new X-Trail will be out too.

Which new cars are easy to get into?
I have a bad back and I find it very difficult getting into small cars like the Volkswagen Polo/Golf etc. I am looking to buy a new car/SUV that will be doing mostly urban/extra urban driving. I know it's a tough ask, but I am looking for something that is easy to get into and that will return decent mpg.

Which new car for 10,000km a year?
I have a BMW 520i (manual, petrol) since 1998 and it has served me well. I am considering changing to a new car and am thinking about the following: BMW 3 Series GT, Lexus IS or the Volvo V40. I have driven my wife's car, a 2011 Toyota Prius 1.8 and like the automatic. I am keen on having a rear camera and parking sensors, plus Bluetooth, leather upholstery, satnav, metallic paint, cruise control and climate control. I do about 10,000km per year.
Can you please advise what you would think might suit my needs.
Regards
Pat Rice

Skoda Kodiaq or Nissan X-Trail?
Hi guys, as the new rebuffed Nissan X-Trail has just been released with 2.0D 177hp engine, can it stand up against the Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI in terms of performance, handling and quality? Outgoing Nissan SUVs were prone to engine and road noise as far as I am aware.

Which hybrids etc to look for new in 2018?
Currently driving a 142 Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2.0-litre diesel with a view to upgrading in 2018. What hybrids/electric cars/SUVs are worth considering as an alternative, but will still give me the space I need as opposed to driving a box?
I mainly drive around my local town (Waterford) and surrounding areas during the week then at weekends I travel long distances going to hurling/rugby games in and around the Munster region.
Thanks
Ray
