Nissan Pulsar or Skoda Rapid Spaceback?
We are looking for an automatic that will be our family car for the future. We are talking two kids in the back and a dog in the trunk when we go on trips. It's all about practicality for us, the car is for transport not for joy rides.
So far we have been looking at the Nissan Pulsar XE and the Skoda Rapid - and here probably the Spaceback to give the dog a bit more head room. But then it comes to features we aren't too picky, but we do want air conditioning.
So as the price difference between the Pulsar EX and the Spaceback Ambition is rather small, we are torn and would be grateful for some pointers.

Has Volkswagen Ireland no Golf info yet?
Hi,
Why on earth is there radio silence from Volkswagen Ireland regarding the new Golf?! In the first time for forever we have an excellent, dedicated car enthusiasts' website for Irish customers where I can read about the new Golf, but Volkswagen Ireland has no information whatsoever on its website or within its dealer network. I am having to use the excellent Volkswagen UK website as a reference yet there is no guarantee what I desire there will even be 'offered' here...
I am in the fortunate position of being able to order my third 'performance' Golf at launch yet am getting that same 'here's what you could have won' feeling seeing the UK launch and generous spec... Maybe it'll be worth the wait this time...

Tell me more about the new Audi Q5.
Hi, do you know if the new Audi Q5 will be sold in 190hp diesel, automatic with front-wheel drive or will they be quattro only with this engine/gearbox combination? Is the quattro permanent or part time or how does it work?
Many thanks...

Can I swap an unused Prius for a new Hyundai?
I'm thinking of buying a new diesel automatic, possibly the new Hyundai i30. Would any dealers take a 2008 Toyota Prius not used for a couple of years and another car, our 2009 FOrd Focus diesel automatic? What do you think?

Any info on new Volkswagen Golf pricing, etc?
Hi,
Have you any info on pricing and specification of the facelifted Volkswagen Golf GTD hatchback and whether Volkswagen will follow Mercedes-Benz and reduce retail prices due to Brexit?

Will I replace my cee'd with a new Kia Rio?
I have a 2007 Kia cee'd petrol with 180,000km on the clock. Trying to work out the best time to replace it. Thinking of a diesel as I do over 15,000km per year. Thinking of the Rio.
Your advice much appreciated.
