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.

Can you recommend a car to fit three booster seats?
Hiya,
I need to get a car that will fit three booster seats. I currently drive a 2004 Renault Senenic so need to update. I've got about €9,000 plus whatever I get on a trade in. Can you recommend one?

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...

How do you rate the Volkswagen Scirocco?
Hi guys,
How would you rate a used Volkswagen Scirocco, say 2011/12 model? The majority of cars in the used market seem to be the 1.4 TSI 122hp model; is this engine strong enough for the car, or would I be better going for the 2.0-litre diesel? Majority of my driving is in town with some motorway driving at the weekend.
Thanks
Gary

Should I go diesel or petrol for a Ford C-Max?
Thinking of buying a 1.6 Ford C-Max from the UK, but have heard mixed reports about the diesel models. Would I be safer going for the petrol one instead?

Is €22,000 too high for this Volkswagen Passat?
Is €22,000 a high price for a 2012 Volkswagen Passat 1.6 TDI? Back in 2009 we bought a 2007 Passat similar spec for €17,000. It was a 2.0-litre TDI two-year old; dealers seem to be looking for crazy money now!
