Which new petrol estate should I go for?
Hi guys,
I currently drive a 2011 Volkswagen Passat saloon 1.4 TSI, but am looking to change to an estate. The obvious choice is the Passat Estate 1.4 TSI, but is there any other petrol estate I should consider? My mileage doesn't justify the change to diesel.
Thanks.

Is the Mitsubishi Outlander worth a look?
We are looking for a seven seater to replace our 2005 Land Rover Discovery. The tax needs to be less and I see the Outlander looks good in that respect. Are there any PCP deals available on cars of this type?

Which new Peugeot 5008 diesel to go for?
Hi,
I was hoping to buy either a 2016 Peugeot 5008 1.6 BlueHDi 120 or a 2.0 BlueHDi 150; both are very similar: which one would you recommend in terms of performance, economy and reliability?
Thanks, Gary

Kia Sorento vs. Hyundai Santa Fe please!
Do the new Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe drive exactly the same when driven on Irish twisty back roads, or has one better handling? I live in Killarney.
