Ford Mondeo, Skoda Octavia or Opel Insignia?
Hi there,
I commute between Gorey and Dublin 3/4 times a week and am in the process of changing my car. I'm tall (six-two) and appreciate leg and head room... Looking at three cars at the moment (diesel): Mondeo, Octavia or Insignia.
Recommendations?

What will I replace my Nissan Micra with?
I intend changing my car in the next two or three months. Currently I have a Nissan Micra, but I would like to buy a more solid and comfortable car this time. I do about 5,500 miles a year. I would be interested to know what make of car you would suggest and whether a diesel car is worth considering.
Thank you.

We need a new family car for under €25k.
Hi,
We are in the market for a new family car that is low maintenance, fits three car seats and preferably be on or just above the €25k mark. We do very little mileage, we currently do one round trip of about two miles to a creche and back with some longer drives at the weekend, but rarely. We both commute by public transport for work. We are considering hybrid/electric as we drive so little but to be honest with the research I've been doing, it seems most hybrids start at €25k and i'm prepared to consider a petrol model if it kept us below that price and suited our needs. We have no brand loyalty at all, but more interested in the ones that offer long warranties.
Any suggestions?

Which car is best for motorway driving?
Hi,
I am currently driving a 2005 Toyota Yaris 1.0-litre. Now I am planning to upgrade to a bigger car since I will be driving regularly on the motorway. My budget is around €3,500. What cars can you suggest that are comfortable to drive for longer distances? I have Suzuki SX4, Mazda3 and Skoda Octavia in mind.
Thanks in advance
