What do you think of the Volkswagen CC?

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a 131 Volkswagen CC 177 GT DSG; can you advise please? I have received a good trade in offer on my 2011 Skoda Octavia RS for the CC.

Thanks.

Honda CR-V or Hyundai Santa Fe?

Hi,

I'm currently driving a Land Rover Freelander TD4 and am looking to change. I am considering a 2008 Honda CR-V EX 1.9 petrol or a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.1 diesel. I am based in Dublin but do a good bit of driving around the country. Can you please let me know about the performance and reliability (potential problems) of these two cars, and point out any other vehicles I should be considering. My budget is a max of €14,000.

Are French cars my only option for real comfort on Irish roads?

What medium size car can best soak up the endless bumps on Irish roads, without loosening the passengers' false teeth? I know French cars have a good name for poor surfaces but reliability might be a problem...

How do you rate the Volkswagen Scirocco?

Hi guys,

How would you rate a used Volkswagen Scirocco, say 2011/12 model? The majority of cars in the used market seem to be the 1.4 TSI 122hp model; is this engine strong enough for the car, or would I be better going for the 2.0-litre diesel? Majority of my driving is in town with some motorway driving at the weekend.

Thanks

Gary

Should I go diesel or petrol for a Ford C-Max?

Thinking of buying a 1.6 Ford C-Max from the UK, but have heard mixed reports about the diesel models. Would I be safer going for the petrol one instead?
