Alternatives to the Golf GTD Estate?

Hi,

If possible please can you do a 'Five of the best' report for compact estate cars in Ireland? I desire and am ready to order a Volkswagen Golf GTD Estate as am currently on my second GTD, but need more space. I want to carry on the Golf GTD customer journey, but alas, this perfect solution for me and my family is 'not available in Ireland...' Therefore I need to look elsewhere so would appreciate your opinions if possible? It appears SEAT and Skoda have this category to themselves.

What petrol car to replace my Corolla?

Hello there,

I currently drive a 1995 Toyota Corolla 1.3 petrol hatchback and spend about 70 to 75 Euro a week on petrol. I get about 440 miles from a full tank of petrol. I have thought about buying diesel, but am worried about high servicing costs. Could you recommend some very economical petrol cars that are the same size internally and as roomy as the Corolla.

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.
