How much will VRT cost on this Audi A6?

What is the road tax on a 2008 Audi A6 2.0-litre 140hp? It's the facelifted model. Also, what would the VRT be on the same model? It has 92,000 miles on the clock, a manual gearbox and was first registered in December.

Cheers,

Sean

Honda CR-V or Hyundai Santa Fe?

Hi,

I'm currently driving a Land Rover Freelander TD4 and am looking to change. I am considering a 2008 Honda CR-V EX 1.9 petrol or a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.1 diesel. I am based in Dublin but do a good bit of driving around the country. Can you please let me know about the performance and reliability (potential problems) of these two cars, and point out any other vehicles I should be considering. My budget is a max of €14,000.

Are French cars my only option for real comfort on Irish roads?

What medium size car can best soak up the endless bumps on Irish roads, without loosening the passengers' false teeth? I know French cars have a good name for poor surfaces but reliability might be a problem...
