Which secondhand SUV should I go for?
Which secondhand SUV should I go for? I'm getting more confused as my search goes on. I had my heart set on a Toyota RAV4. But now I realise I should widen my search. Which would you recommend, assuming similar miles and age (2007/08): Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Suzuki Grand Vitara or another (all between 35-50k miles)?. The cabin and feel of the RAV and Vitara seem very similar, but the later is €2/3k cheaper for 07/08 models, why?
Many thanks, Sharon

Can you help me choose which Toyota RAV4 to go for?
Which would you go for: an old Toyota RAV4 with lower mileage or a younger model with higher mileage (2007 with 26k for €10k or 2008 with 44k for €10,800). Also, auto or manual? Lastly, do they suffer from clutch issues? Test drove a 2008 version today and clutch was heavy.

Should I replace my Octavia with a Tucson 4x4?
I just crashed my 1.9 Octavia. I travel about 20,000 kilometres a year. I was thinking of getting a 07/08 Hyundai Tucson 4WD but am concerned about the difference in fuel economy. I live rurally (the Skoda slipped on mud) and on a steep hill. I also travel to scenic locations as I take landscape photos. I've read conflicting reports with regard to the economy. I've a loan of a 2007 Fiesta 1.25 and have put €70 into it in the last five days to do about 300 miles. Is the Tucson a realistic choice?

Is the new Volkswagen Polo way better?
Guys, I have a 2000 Volkswagen Polo. How much better would the "new" Polo be compared to it? Even though I do very little mileage, I'm in two minds whether to upgrade or not, please help!
