Outlander PHEV or Volvo XC40?

Hi,

We are in the process of moving from an S60 Volvo to a SUV type of vehicle. We have narrowed it down to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV S-Edition or Volvo XC40. Is there any major positive or negative aspects of either that isn’t obvious to the ordinary punter? Help much appreciated in making the final decision.

Your thoughts on this Peugeot 3008?

Greetings to you, I will like to request your view on a 2010 or 2011 Peugeot 3008. We are first time car buyers and we are currently viewing a 2010 Peugeot 3008, with approximately 110k miles on the clock, diesel engine, automatic for €7,500 sticker price (negotiable). We love this car and we would love to have it, but we are wondering what kind of problems and the level of reliability this car has. We will appreciate if you can provide us with your analysis of this car.

Thanks

When is my Audi A4's timing belt due?

Hi,

I own a 142 Audi A4 2.0-litre diesel. I was informed when I bought the car that the timing belt was not due until 210,000km. Is this correct? I am currently only at 90,000 miles, but am just wary in case it is in fact due.

Thanks
