choosing new car

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...

Volkswagen Tiguan 150hp diesel Comfortline front-wheel drive or BMW X1 sDrive18d Xline: if cost wasn't an issue what would you recommend?

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...

I drive a Volkswagen Passat and want a new car that will suit a family of four. Any advice?

Is the new Dacia Duster a quality vehicle or will it have problems sooner rather than later?

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?

I currently have a Ford Galaxy and looking to get a new/nearly new seven-seater. Have you done a review on seven-seaters? What would you recommend?

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?

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.

Have you got a review of the Lexus IS 300h?
