choosing new car

Hi,

Can I ask which vehicle you would choose from the following: Hyundai Kona 1.6 Hybrid Excellence or the new MG ZS Hybrid+. I want a reliable SUV with good power, automatic and all the mod cons with a budget of €35k for new.

Also, is it crazy to buy new or would I be better off buying from the following list even if it was 2-3 years old instead: Skoda Karoq Style or Sportline, SEAT Ateca, Cupra Formentor?

Thanks for the advice

Hello,

We currently own a VW Tiguan R Line and coming to the end of PCP plan in August next year. I am considering a new Tiguan and also the new Skoda Kodiaq. I also have been doing a bit of research into possibly buying an EV. Some are now considerably cheaper than the normal ICE vehicles.

We have three kids and the normal mileage is 25k km per year. Over the next couple of months we are looking at the cost of change. We also chatted about the possibility of keeping our current car for another few years and wait for EVs to get better technology and range. There is also the depreciation aspect of EVs presently and the price of batteries are still falling.

Would it be a good time to change to EV or wait?

Cna oyu compare the MG3 'self-charging' hybrid and Mazda2 self-charging hybrid for both town and distance travel?

Hi

We have a 2020 SEAT Leon (most recent design) which we own outright. We are thinking of changing to an electric car, possibly an Enyaq. Can you please give a view on whether it’s better to go for a one-year-old Enyaq or to go for PCP on a new one (probably early next year) but we wish to minimise the cost of changing.

Suggestions on alternative but similar cars would also be appreciated which would maximise the value we might get for our car. Any advice on this conundrum would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I am looking to gift a car to my wife. With a range of 242 offers, I am inclined to buy a new one. She is still taking her driving lessons and needs hand controls to drive the car due to her foot disability.

She needs a small car with two mandatory features: an automatic transmission and adaptive cruise control. I have narrowed down some options with the budget I have for €30k, but confused what to consider: Suzuki Swift, Volkswagen Polo, Toyota Yaris Luna Hybrid, Dacia Sandero Stepaway or MG3 Hybrid? I am open to suggestions but it should have the two mandatory features.

Thanks

Hi!

We’re a family of five (and dog) who love our 10-year-old Volkswagen Passat Estate. No plans to get rid of it but we need a second car to manage weekend logistics. A new Skoda Combi would be great (definitely don’t want an SUV), but would prefer a hybrid or electric option. Any suggestions?

I am going to buy a Volkswagen Golf 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid 115hp. Is it worth getting the 150hp instead?

Hi,

I am in the process of changing my beloved Golf Mk 7.5 GTI but cannot decide what to go for! I have narrowed my search down to a Golf 8.5 R Black Edition, the new Audi S3 Vorsprung or a BMW 340i xDrive. The latter will need to be a six-month-old car rather than new to fit within  my budget. All are great cars! Which one of those three would the CompleteCar.ie team go for?

Love your YouTube videos btw - have used them a lot for my search.

Many thanks!

Hi,

I currently drive a 2016 Audi Q7, a 3.0-litre quattro diesel. I want to upgrade as it has 244,000km now on the clock, as I average 30,000km per year.

I was looking at the Q7 petrol hybrid but worried about fuel consumption compared to diesel, I would do a lot of small local journeys and thought this might be better option but just looking for advice if possible please or suggestions on what else you would recommend. Boot space is another big requirement.

Thanks

John

I am considering purchasing either an Audi Q6 e-tron or Porsche Macan 4. Which would you advise?
