Can I write off cost of EV in first year?
I was told that if I buy a fully electric car for my business that I can write off the cost of it in the first year. Is this correct?

Does the Kia Stinger need lots of servicing?
I notice in the detailed UK specs for the Kia Stinger (which otherwise appears like a wonderful car), it says, both for the 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre petrol engines, that the service interval is a mere six months. This seems weird when many new cars with powerful engines have a two-year service interval, at least for the first service. What do you think?
Thanks Philip

Why did my diesel Peugeot lose power?
Why would a 2009 diesel Peugeot with 66,000km on the clock lose power and stop on the motorway at 100km/h? I turned it off and restarted it and it was perfect for about 40km then it happened again.

Is this Ford Kuga timing belt schedule right?
I bought a Ford Kuga in Jan 2015 and have done 127,000km. I was asked to change the timing belt today at a Ford service. I Googled and found out that I can do up to 200,000km or 10 years between timing belt replacements. If that is so I could save money now and do it later. Can you advise? Mine is three years old and I service it regularly, at least every three months, as I am always driving long distances alone.

Why has my Dacia's power steering failed?
I have a Dacia Sandero Ambiance 1.2 not done 19,000 miles yet. But have lost power steering. The car is three years and two months old. Any idea what the problem could be?

Where to get my Volvo S60's gearbox done?
Just found out my 2012 Volvo S60 needs a new gearbox. Will I be at a loss if I use an independent garage rather than a main dealer when I come to sell it?

Which cars suit swivel passenger seats?
Hi,
Just wondering which car is best to buy for a swivel front seat passenger as my sister has difficulty getting from her wheelchair to the passenger seat. I thought a swivel seat may help. I drive a Passat, but I was told these are not suited for swivel seats.
Thanks
