Where is the gear selector situated in the new Hyundai Tucson?

What do you think of the circular screen in the 2026 MINI Countryman E? Did you find it a fiddle to use, especially the heating/climate controls?

People are reporting issues with the software; have you heard about this? The fact that almost every function happens through this worries me as a potential purchaser of this car.

Thank you!

When to replace the timing belt on a 2019 Volkswagen Golf?

Hi,

My 23-year-old daughter is moving from Scotland to Dublin later this month and is taking her BMW 120 M Sport with her.

She will be working in Dublin for one year, possibly two. She has a full driving licence with no endorsements and has had no claims since she qualified to drive in Nov 2022.

Her existing UK insurance provider will cover her for only 30 days and so she will require insurance with an Irish provider. Are there companies who will provide such insurance? Will she be obliged to obtain an Irish licence and get Irish number plates?

I bought a car in August that had been off the road. Its NCT expired in March. Will a new NCT only last until next March?

Have the Dacia Bigster or Duster 360-degree camera systems?

Can you get the rear-drive electric Mercedes GLC with air suspension and rear-wheel steering?

I drive a 2019 Skoda Rapid 1.0-litre petrol with 112,000km on the clock. I was told my timing belt needs changing shortly. Is this correct?

Hi guys,

I saw your video review of the Ford Explorer EV and I'm thinking of buying a full EV new at the ~€50k mark, but I'm completely lost. I'm not a car expert. I live in Dublin but drive home to Kerry regularly (350km journey).

Could I ask for a single make/model recommendation for the best EV for the money please? I want to embrace full EV, but want a reliable recommendation before I get bamboozled by a car salesperson!

I want boot space for sports gear, a comfortable drive, it to be practical, reliable etc. Generally, just the driver and a passenger in the car, but will definitely have people in the back seats on occasion.

I'm always hauling stuff from Dublin to Kerry so the five-door SUV is the best for me I think.

I have a 2008 Audi A4 so long overdue an upgrade. I'm 42 so getting into a lower saloon car is getting harder…

I'm leaning towards the Ford Explorer - RWD 77kWh as an option - all round a solid choice?

Thanks a mill

Will the red that the Mercedes VLE is shown in, in many promo photos, be available in Ireland? Will the AMG-Line be available, too?

Thanks a million
