BMW X3 or Audi Q5 - and which one?

Hi,

I would like to know which you think is better to buy of these two: a BMW X3 or an Audi Q5. I would also like to know if you think the BMW X3 18d is a better buy than the 20d version or do you think it's underpowered

Thanks.

Thinking of getting a new Peugeot 3008...

I'm thinking of trading in a 142 Hyundai i40 Tourer for a new Peugeot 3008, but would like your opinion on what model would best suit me. I like my comfort, have no children, just my wife and myself, but will sometimes have my 5, 6, and 2 other young grand-kids to bring somewhere, but not all together. Appreciate your opinion. Val

Is the 1.0-litre Yaris powerful enough?

Hi,

I am considering a 2017 Toyota Yaris 1.0 to replace my 2004 Polo 1.2 65hp. Is the 1.0 sufficient or would I be better getting the 1.33? I don't expect it to be quick, but like the Polo.

Thanks very much!

What's the BMW 218i Coupe like?

I don't see a review of the BMW 218i Coupe on your site and would like your opinion on this car. I don't see many of them for sale either.

I'm looking for a high-up diesel auto...

Currently driving a Peugeot 2008 diesel automatic. Love it, but need a slightly higher car again - still diesel automatic. My passenger has a disability and needs easier access. Don't need larger car just higher car. I like the Ford EcoSport, but the diesel version is not automatic. It appears slightly higher than the 2008. Something along that line and price bracket would suit me if it were available. Otherwise I will have to return to a Peugeot 3008 diesel automatic, which I had some years ago, but felt it was too large. Did not have to take disabled passenger at that stage.
