What size of wheels are on the Platinum model of the new Toyota RAV4? And what is its horsepower? I have a 242 plug-in Sport four-wheel drive. Should the 262 Platinum be the same power wise?

Hi,

My car is 1986; does it have different emissions testing?

Thank you

Hi,

I am seeking to purchase the new Jeep Avenger 85th Anniversary Edition in a commercial vehicle (CDV) form but I have been advised by a Jeep dealership that the 85th anniversary will not be available in this market.

Can you kindly advise where I can purchase this vehicle within Ireland and approximately when this will be for sale in Ireland, thanks?

In your video review of the 2026 plug-in-hybrid Toyota RAV4 GR Sport Neil clearly mentions the space saver spare wheel. I was in a dealership yesterday looking at the new RAV4 and I was told that there won't be a spare wheel in the new model. Why is that? The spare wheel seems to be in every RAV4 in every other country.

Hi,

I am driving a 172 Honda CR-V Sport AWD with 150k on the clock and it's the best car I have ever driven, and I am not young! You will know Honda stopped manufacturing this vehicle in 2018. Basically, I need to change as the mileage is getting high.

I want AWD, hybrid petrol or plug-in and my budget is €25k and I estimate my car is worth €18k on trade in giving me over €40k.

I looked at the Toyota RAV4, but I am not sure. I don't think I can afford another Honda which would be my preference as they are very expensive and I don't think the 2019 to 2023 has a very good reputation.

Any help would be great

Any idea when the Jaecoo 8 will launch in Ireland?

My car failed its NCT and has been off the road. While waiting for the part to repair it (from abroad - current delays of several months) my insurance has expired. I am finding difficulty in getting cover to drive to garage to get it repaired.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I was reading your piece on importing a car from Northern Ireland and I had a few questions:

If importing a GB-reg car that has been in use in Northern Ireland for a 'reasonable period of time' and I can show this by V5C and an MOT carried out in NI is that enough for Revenue in Ireland so that I don't have to pay customs or VAT?

In your piece you say that I must show "a copy of an invoice from a transport company identifying the vehicle and delivery date; tax and insurance details indicating use in Northern Ireland."

What if I can't get those documents from the dealer I purchase the car from?

I would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks

Is the Toyota Avensis petrol or diesel?

Hi,

I'm looking to change my car; I currently drive a 2.0 diesel, and I was looking at hybrid or fully electric but I'm not sure what's best for me. I drive 30 minutes on a motorway every day to work and every second week I drive two hours on the motorway to visit family; which is best for me to buy?
