choosing new car

Have you heard of SsangYong Motor? There aren't any prices on www.ssangyong.ie

Hi, how much would I get trade off a new Duster? I have a 2004 Hyundai Coupé with 75,000 miles on clock and it's in very good condition.

I am thinking of trading in my Golf Mark 6 Highline, which has 16-inch wheels, for the new mark 7 Highline, which has now standard 17-inch wheels. Worried it may not be as comfortable on back roads.

Which is a better compact diesel SUV: the Mercedes-Benz GLK 250, BMW X3 or the Audi Q3/5?

I'm thinking of buying new SUV; do you know which is best value for money in terms of warranty and finance package on market at moment, but also attractive?

Hope you can help

My elderly parents are in the market for a mid-sized hatch with a budget of around €22k, which seems to get them most brand's lower-mid trim models. A crossover they feel is too big for them despite me recommending the easier entry of the higher seats. They need a small petrol engine, as their mileage is low and will never reach a speed capable of clearing a DPF.

The question is what car? There is a really good range of options between Golf, i30, Focus, Pulsar, Auris and many others. What is the best all round option, and do you happen to know if any of them are easier to get into/out of than others?

Thanks

If you were buying a fast Golf in 2015 and did about 20,000- to 25,000km a year would you have a Golf R, Golf GTI Performance or Golf GTD? Also, I have driven automatics for the last few years and like them, but would you have DSG or manual in these cars? I'm thinking GTI performance with DSG is a nice balance, as the R still has higher road tax and presumably insurance and performance that will only lose me my licence, while the GTD might be a little pedestrian.

Would value your opinion.

Which is the most economical 4×4?

Which is best: SEAT Leon, Kia cee'd or Hyundai i30? I am currently driving a 2012 SEAT Ibiza, but looking to change in 2015. Not sure of the three listed which one offers best value for money. Also whilst I do around 10,000- to 12,000 miles per year it's mostly urban and not stuck in traffic. I can't decide whether or not to go for diesel option as spec seems better in same.

If I ordered a new Audi A4 with a petrol engine, would I lose out much in two or three years time when I trade it in? My annual mileage is less than 8,000km.
