New Honda CR-V or Nissan X-Trail?

Hi,

I have a recommendation question. I'm wondering which of the following cars I should consider? I have always driven Toyota and currently have a RAV4 D-4D. I'm considering a change and have the following in mind: Honda CR-V ES or Nissan X-Trail SV. I do 50,000km in two years and purchase new. I want something that will be a good trade-in against a Toyota should I revert to the brand in two years' time again.

Thanks

New Opel Mokka X or similar crossover?

Hi,

I'm considering buying the new Opel Mokka X or similar sized, height and priced car. What would you recommend? I've even considered the Dacia range, but maybe its false economy with them?

Thanks

Does climate alter my Ford's value?

I have a 2009 Ford Fusion  and the build data describes it as a 1.4 petrol manual Zetec with air conditioning. When I bought it the dealership described it as a Zetec Climate. What are the essential build differences between the two versions? And the valuation differences?

How to calculate this SEAT's VRT?

I'm thinking of buying a 2016 1.4 petrol SEAT Alhambra up north, but I cannot find out the cost of the VRT. I have been told that I need to bring it in first so they can calculate the cost, which I cannot take a chance on. It is not on the VRT calculator and I have made phone calls only to be told they cannot give me estimate...
