Volkswagen Tiguan or SEAT Ateca on PCP?
I love the look of the new Tiguan and SEAT's crossover. With about €350 a month to spend on PCP, which would you go for in Jan?

Audi A5 Sportback or BMW 4 Series Coupe?
I really like the look of the new Audi A5 Sportback. Would you have it over the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe? Thinking 2.0-litre diesel for a '171' plate.

What new MPV would you recommend for us?
Hi,
We are in the market for an MPV/SUV. We hope to buy by the end of March next year. We have a budget of €19-20k plus our 2010 2.0-litre Volkswagen Passat Highline. The car should have three full rear seats and a good size boot.
What would you recommend?

Would diesel, hybrid or PHEV suit my needs?
Diesel, hybrid or PHEV? I do a 200km round trip commute most days. A mix of 140km motorway and 60km small rural roads and stop-start city traffic. Other days I could do 300/400km of which 25 per cent would be city type traffic. Is diesel still my better option? For a PHEV I could plug in at home or at my destination most times.

Merc GLA, Audi A3, BMW 1 Series or new Golf?
I have just moved to Luxembourg for two years I am looking for a new car (it has to be new), 2.0-litre or close to it. Looking for a two-year lease deal or wondering about buying Mercedes-Benz GLA, Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf or 1 Series BMW. Relative to Ireland, which car is best value to buy?

Audi S3 or Mercedes C-Class - both cabriolets?
Hi,
Could I ask you to compare the Audi S3 Cabriolet with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet for about the same money? Both are quality cars. The Mercedes possibly more polished and stylish. The Audi has four-wheel drive, is faster and smaller.
Thank you, Philip

Is the Golf GTI Performance no more?
Has Volkswagen Ireland stopped importing the GTI Performance? I have been told by Volkswagen that production for the performance model is ceasing (but it still seems to be available to order in other markets). Wondering if this is a temporary measure to help shift the glut of R models available for sale?
Many thanks
