BMW X3 or Mitsubishi Outlander?
Hello,
I am very interested in buying a diesel 2.0-litre automatic SUV. The two I'm most interested in are the BMW X3 2016 model xDrive and the Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 model. I know the BMW would be faster because it has the higher power output and probably would be better to drive. The thing is though the Outlander has the eight-year warranty and is a lot less expensive. I would wait until the new version of the X3 comes out if I decided to go with that so I probably would have to wait until next year to get one of those. Do you think it would be worth the wait or should I go for the Outlander?
Thanks.

Jeep Renegade or Honda HR-V?
Which is better value for money, has the best mpg, reliability and low running costs: A Jeep Renegade or a Honda HR-V? I don't need an off reader or four-wheel drive, but I do live in a rural location up a high boreen and would need the SUV to be able to get me through icy or snowy conditions should they arise.
Thank you

Is this offer on a new Audi A4 worth going for?
Hi,
I am the owner of July 2011 Audi A4 2.0 TDI SE with 39,000 kilometres on the clock and metallic paint. The car is in pristine condition and has been regularly serviced at the local Audi dealership. On a trade in my local Audi dealer is requesting €25,000 in part payment for a new Audi A4 2.0 TDI SE with metallic paint. I should be grateful if you would advise me should I accept the offer?
Regards Martin

Should I trade in against a new Hyundai?
I have a 2002 Ford Focus Estate diesel with high mileage, but running well. I am wondering whether I would get a better deal by trading in or going as a cash buyer against a Hyundai i30 diesel hatchback or should I get the cash price from dealer and only then offer my trade in?

I'd like to change my Octavia for a Qashqai.
Hello,
I am considering changing my 2007 Skoda Octavia (420,000km on the clock) to a Nissan Qashqai. Can you advise me on best option? Other than visual look I have no knowledge of the Qashqai - where can I read a review? What trade in value/scrappage can I expect? Is it better to seek finance or pay cash?
Any advice and guidance on how I should progress will be appreciated.
Regards
