Would a new SEAT Ibiza suit my needs?

Will be doing about 400km a week for work and looking for a car that's safe, reliable and inexpensive to run. Is it worth getting a new car? Thinking of the SEAT Ibiza 1.2-litre diesel with 0% finance and the three years' servicing. Is this a good option? Thanks

Audi Q5, BMW X3 or Range Rover Evoque?

I'm thinking of buying a mid-sized SUV and have narrowed my choice down to a BMW X3, Audi Q5 and the Range Rover Evoque. The Range Rover has the pedigree, but to be honest, I'm not going to do serious off-roading, I just want to cope with difficult weather conditions that sometimes crop up down the country and drive on the odd muddy track. Also, I understand the mpg figures quoted for the Evoque are a bit optimistic and to be honest, I can't but feel that the Evoque looks a bit girly!

The BMW ticks a lot of boxes, but seems a bit dated. I'm leaning to the Q5; it looks the part, has a decent engine, recent upgrade and seems to be a good all-rounder. Can you give any advice on choosing between the three? Also, I'm thinking of going automatic and again I was wondering if you had any advice in that department?
