Hi,
Looking at a Toyota Corolla Diesel. But, is it worth the extra cash to go for Kia Sportage 1.7 diesel in the scrappage scheme?
Cheers

Why the delays on the Kia Sportage?
Have you heard anything about why it is taking so long for the new Kia Sportage to reach Irish showrooms? Is it just right hand drive cars for Ireland and UK that are slow to arrive or is it all over Europe?

Should I buy the VW Golf 1.2 or a Toyota Auris 1.3?
My question is: I'm looking to change my 2006 1.2 SEAT Ibiza and am considering the 1.2 Volkswagen Golf Highline or the Toyota Auris 1.3 Sport. I drive every day, mostly city driving but only do about 6,000km a year. Do you have any comments on either of the cars I'm considering or is there anything else I should have a look at?
Many thanks for your help
Brendan.

New Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester or BMW X3?
Hello,
I have a 2004 Honda CR-V 2.0-litre petrol that I want to change next year. One of the three cars I have in mind is the new diesel CR-V because they are so reliable. My CR-V has 112,000 miles on the clock and a blown light bulb has been the most trouble it's ever given.
The second car is a Subaru Forester because again it's reliable and roomy.
My final choice is a new model BMW X3 because of less tax. I have test driven one and liked it a lot. Could you give some advice please?

Will I have Mazda3, Focus or Golf in scrappage deal?
Hi,
I have a budget of €20,000 approx. I will also qualify for scrappage as I currently drive a 2000 Toyota Corolla. I cannot decide between the new diesel 1.6 Mazda 3 hatchback, new model 1.6 Ford Focus Edge or Zetec or the Diesel 1.6 VW Trendline. Which of these is the better car and which is the most reliable? Thanks, Ally
