Could my Sorento be sitting lower than before?

I just bought a used 2008 Kia Sorento. Garage arranged for NCT etc. New rear shocks were done. Now the Sorento seems lower, not as much clearance from tyre to wheel arch. What could it be?

Which auto petrol mobility car makes sense?

A relation is looking for a Fiat Qubo size mobility car, but only petrol and automatic. As the Qubo is only available with diesel, can you suggest any mobility car this size or one that can be converted to take a small disability scooter and have a swivel passanger seat? Failing that, could you suggest a car that could be adapted?

Should I go for a new Ford Fiesta EcoBoost?

Hi,

I am interested in buying the new Ford Fiesta EcoBoost 1.0-litre. I am an old age pensioner and badly need a reliable small car. Which car would you advise me to buy: the Fiesta Zetec or Fiesta Titanium? The road tax is cheap either way. I have a 2005 Skoda Octavia 1.4 petrol my local dealer said he would give me €4,400 trade in for. I don't know much about cars so any advice you give me would be appreciated. Or is there something else similar out there I should look at?

Thank you
