Ask Us Anything

I want to import my brother's 2011 Volvo XC90 from UK to Ireland. What would be the cost involved? Also, I have an Indian licence. So how much will the insurance cost?

Hi,

Should I change my 2024 VW Golf (three-cylinder 1.0-litre mild-hybrid) next year for a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder Golf or perhaps a 1.8 Toyota Corolla?

I want a car to keep indefinitely. I love my current Golf and would be happy to hold onto it but I have doubts about the long-term reliability of a three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine.

What do you think? Our annual milage is about 17,000km mainly town driving with a few mixed road journeys of 40-80km weekly plus the odd few longer road trips annually.

Thanks.

I drive a Toyota CH-R Sport 1.8, but I'm thinking of buying an Alfa Romeo Junior hybrid. I live in the countryside; which car would be more fuel efficient for me?

When is the Jaecoo 7 on sale in Ireland and do you know who will be the distributor?

How much to import a 2014 Jaguar F-Type 3.0 AWD? The VRT calculator doesn't show anything for an F-Type.

What sort of depreciation do you expect on the MG HS?

Does the 2017 Ford Kuga 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine have a timing chain or wet belt?

Is there a commercial Dacia Bigster available?

I was living in the North when I bought my last new Audi A7. I saved a considerable sum by shopping around dealers. In RoI, do all Audi dealers stick to the website price or is it worth shopping around?

Audi Ireland only seems to offer a three-year general warranty. Is it possible to buy an extended warranty?

Yours was the best review I have read about the A6 Sportback e-tron. I live on top of a hill two miles from a main road and they do not grit here. I prefer quattro but also want max range - any advice as to how to choose between the quattro and the advance?

Sorry for the three questions!

I have DPF anxiety! Looking to purchase a diesel in the 221 - 231 range (looking at Tucson or possibly Octavia). If service history shows no forced regeneration of the DPF (or other similar exhaust system issues), can I be confident there won't be any moving forward (our car usage should lend itself well to keeping it clear)?

Are there any other telltale signs to look for re DPF issues or questions to ask when buying?

Really trying to avoid headaches! Thanks in advance.
