Thanks for your replies to my earlier questions. I have read your review of your experience of the Mazda CX-80. You reference the suspension and use the words “crash and bang” - this is probably the most damning description of a car’s suspension I have ever read. If I test drive this car it will be in a short distance of the garage on good roads, but your review is no doubt more comprehensive and professional. Overall, your review is very positive I feel! Thanks for your replies and if you feel that I have got the wrong end of the stick please correct me.

Has Kia given any more info on when the EV5 is going to launch in Ireland and what versions will be available?
