Is Audi's 191 deal too good to be true?
Audi appears to be offering a very good deal on a new A4 with a style kit and an automatic upgrade for free at the moment; is this too good to be true? Can you get both on one car?

Petrol, hybrid or diesel for my next car?
Hello
I'm unsure whether I should opt for hybrid, diesel or petrol for my next car. I drive approx 80km per day, mainly national roads. I am interested in hybrid, but considering I drive very little in town/city environments, I'm not sure it's the best option. I'd love your opinion as everyone I speak to seems to have conflicting advice.
Many thanks

Explain how VRT works on extras...
Can you explain how VRT is calculated on optional extras on an imported car? I understand there is a sliding scale depending on age of car. For example what is the additional VRT on a 2017 BMW 520 with €10,000 extras?

Should I go for a Mazda6 diesel now?
Just read your review on the Mazda6. Is it wise to buy a diesel nowadays considering all the bad press? Do you think the government will come down on diesels hard in the future as all you can hear is "dirty diesel"? Or would you advise one to go for a hybrid instead?
