Thinking of buying a SEAT Ateca 1.4...

Hi guys,

Thinking of buying a 1.4 TSI petrol SEAT Ateca and trying to find a report on the engine configuration. I recently had a test drive in one and at one stage the engine indicated on the dash '2-cylinder mode' - not sure how that works!

Any direction on understanding this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

Nissan Qashqai or SEAT Ateca petrol?

Hi guys,

My wife drives a Volkswagen Golf 1.4 petrol with 80,000km on the clock. Her work will be based in Naas from August this year. We're looking to upgrade her car, we don't reckon she warrants diesel and have narrowed it down to the Nissan Qashqai or SEAT Ateca (1.2 and 1.4). We have about €20k to put towards it (including what she'd get for the Golf). Reliability and running costs are important. We've had two kids since she bought the Golf so she's looking for something a bit roomier.

Which of the above would you say is the better option and is there anything else we should consider (she doesn't like the Golf SV)?

Much appreciated

Which SUV for kids with €30k to go for?

Good morning guys,

I need some advice on cars or SUVs! I am looking for a family vehicle as I have three kids under five. So that means car seats. I have a bad back so I need height and I need boot space for a buggy. My budget is €30k and I already have a Renault Grand Scenic that does the job, but is ugly to be honest. I live in Kildare and do drive on bad roads. I do have an option to buy in the UK and bring the car over, as well.

Can you recommend anything?

Thank you

Donna
