choosing new car

What's good and bad about the Toyota Auris?

Hi,

My husband and l are thinking of buying a new Kia Niro through PCP. Neither of us are "into" cars as such. We will have a deposit of €10,000 and it will be replacing our 2004 Toyota Corolla Verso. We like the fact that the Kia Niro is hybrid and we have already had a test drive and this sold it to us.

Any advice about the car or PCP would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Jean

Good and bad things about the Toyota Prius hybrid?

Hi,

I have a recommendation question. I'm wondering which of the following cars I should consider? I have always driven Toyota and currently have a RAV4 D-4D. I'm considering a change and have the following in mind: Honda CR-V ES or Nissan X-Trail SV. I do 50,000km in two years and purchase new. I want something that will be a good trade-in against a Toyota should I revert to the brand in two years' time again.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm considering buying the new Opel Mokka X or similar sized, height and priced car. What would you recommend? I've even considered the Dacia range, but maybe its false economy with them?

Thanks

I want to buy a car, though which to buy? The top Hyundai i10 petrol model or Elite i20 petrol 1.2?

What is the best small car on the market with respect to value and reliability?

Hi guys,

Thinking of buying a 1.4 TSI petrol SEAT Ateca and trying to find a report on the engine configuration. I recently had a test drive in one and at one stage the engine indicated on the dash '2-cylinder mode' - not sure how that works!

Any direction on understanding this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

Hi guys,

My wife drives a Volkswagen Golf 1.4 petrol with 80,000km on the clock. Her work will be based in Naas from August this year. We're looking to upgrade her car, we don't reckon she warrants diesel and have narrowed it down to the Nissan Qashqai or SEAT Ateca (1.2 and 1.4). We have about €20k to put towards it (including what she'd get for the Golf). Reliability and running costs are important. We've had two kids since she bought the Golf so she's looking for something a bit roomier.

Which of the above would you say is the better option and is there anything else we should consider (she doesn't like the Golf SV)?

Much appreciated

Is the Skoda Octavia 1.0 TSI petrol noisy if you maintain 120km/h on the motorway? Is the interior cabin quiet at both low and high speed?

Thanks
