Evoque, GLA, 3 Series or Mazda CX-5?!
I'm driving a Audi A4 4 1.9 diesel and I will be trading in over the next few months. Mercedes-Benz has offered me best deal so far to buy a GLA 220 Urban model. I am also looking at 3 Series BMW Sport 318d, and the Range Rover Evoque and I looked at the Mazda CX5. I drove the Audi Q3 last year and I was very disappointed with the seats. Which of the above would you recommend? My heart would love the Evoque, but my head says it's not a German. I am a lady driver doing mostly motorway and around town driving. I would appreciate any opinion you may have.

Is the 1.4-litre Volkswagen Golf under-powered?
Should I buy a 2006-2007 Volkswagen Golf with the 1.4 petrol engine? I heard that the engine is too small for this car, which gives high fuel consumption and car is not powerful enough, is that true?

Should my dipped beams stay on when mains are?
When I turn on main beam the dipped lights still stay on, making a very bright patch close ahead that makes the main beam seem dim. What do you think?
