Can you suggest a car to suit our needs?
Might be looking for a car that doesn’t exist, but we’re hoping to find something that’s easy for elderly parents to get in and out of; handsome looking; economical (ideally a hybrid); could easily take child seats; reliable; and have all the mod cons - reverse camera, heated seats etc. Can you help?!
Thanks!

What will I replace my Mazda3 with?
I'd like to replace my Mazda3 petrol 1.6 for a diesel car or SUV; what would you recommend? I'd like something with good fuel economy as I do over 360 miles a week, mostly motorway driving, and lower tax preferably. I have two young children in car seats. I'm looking for something a year or two old, but not a Golf.
Thanks

Does paint peel from the old Kia Rio?
I am about to buy a 2007 Kia Rio 1.4 EX, but is it true that paint peels from the underside of its body? How true is this?

When is the new Nissan X-Trail out?
Any idea when a new Nissan X-Trail will be unveiled and on sale? I know a new Qashqai is coming but heard a new X-Trail will be out too.

Tell me about DPFs and short journeys...
How far do you need to drive a Hyundai i30 to help the diesel particulate filter regenerate, and how often does it perform this action? If you only do mainly short journeys are you better of with a petrol engine?
