Should I replace my Octavia with a Tucson 4x4?
I just crashed my 1.9 Octavia. I travel about 20,000 kilometres a year. I was thinking of getting a 07/08 Hyundai Tucson 4WD but am concerned about the difference in fuel economy. I live rurally (the Skoda slipped on mud) and on a steep hill. I also travel to scenic locations as I take landscape photos. I've read conflicting reports with regard to the economy. I've a loan of a 2007 Fiesta 1.25 and have put €70 into it in the last five days to do about 300 miles. Is the Tucson a realistic choice?

Is the new Volkswagen Polo way better?
Guys, I have a 2000 Volkswagen Polo. How much better would the "new" Polo be compared to it? Even though I do very little mileage, I'm in two minds whether to upgrade or not, please help!

Does my Volvo S40 FFV really need a service already?
I own a Volvo S40 FFV; last service was 90,000km when I bought it, with oil, oil filter, cabin filter and brakes done. Now at 98,000km a message on the dash says book for next service. Does it now need new oil and oil filter only after 8,000km? This seems very little with modern oil and filters.
Thank you
