Hyundai i40 Tourer or Peugeot 5008?

I am looking to change my car and need something with more space. I have looked at and test driven the Hyundai i40 Tourer and the Peugeot 5008. The 5008 has more space, but I am drawn to the i40 as it drives and appears better. Can you enlighten me as to which you feel is the better car?

Should I swap my 5 Series for a BMW X3 or a Merc M-Class?

Hello I need some advice please.

At the moment I own a 2010 new model BMW 5 Series, which I bought new. It's a fantastic car, but my previous car was a Nissan X-Trail and I really miss the high driving position. We have recently had a baby, which means lots of bending with car seats and buggies. We also have a five-year old and elderly parents who sometimes travel with us.

We have decided to trade the 5 Series for a 2.0-litre diesel SUV and have narrowed the choice down to two. My husband likes the new BMW X3, but I am more drawn to the Mercedes-Benz M-Class 2.0, as I don't really like the looks of the X3.

My question is, which of these two do you think would suit us best?

Thanks.
