I had a 1998 Honda CRV auto. I changed it in 2014 as it was costing so much to run. To this day I still pine for my Honda. Its reliability was incredible. I got a Kia Soul diesel 1.6 but find it noisy and bumpy on country roads. Also, the boot is too small for country living. Everything I look at is too big and bulky. I want something in a similar size to my Honda, diesel, 1.6 engine, automatic with low tax. I need height as I have bad back issues.

Many thanks. Margaret

Does a 2007 SEAT Cordoba 1.4 diesel have a timing belt or a timing chain?

I'd like to see reviews of the Ford Focus Titanium.

Hi,

Is it legal to increase the price of an insurance premium times five? I was paying €400 last year (seven years NCB plus for 55 per cent discount) for a 1999 Honda Accord. I've got letter from my current insurer (AIG), with a new quote for €1,998. When I rang them, they told me the reason was that my car is too old! Car passing NCT every year, no problems whatsoever, no convictions either. Another two broker companies and three individual insurers have declined me for the same reason.

Any ideas?

This is not really a question, just a comment. I just don't understand all this hype about electric and hybrid cars. I live in an apartment, probably way more than half the world lives in apartments or cities where recharging is not feasible. It doesn't look like the future to me.

Cheers

How much is a 2007 Opel Astra three-door worth?

I'm looking at an X-Type Jaguar, around 2008 or 2009. Are they worth looking at? Or should I look at a Mondeo or Passat?

Hi,

Would you go for a 2011 1.2-litre Skoda Fabia (89k miles) or 2012 Opel Corsa 1.0-litre (69K miles) or 2011 Renault Clio 1.1-litre as a second family car/run around?

Could you tell me if a Dacia Sandero is a good car... or should I stick with a Skoda Yeti? I'm looking at an ad on DoneDeal.ie

Thanks
