Which comfortable new SUV should I go for?

Hi.

I'm looking at getting an SUV for medical reasons. I drive country roads 90 per cent of the time so I need something comfortable and reliable. I'm looking at the Range Rover Evoque and Audi Q5. Which one would you recommend? I also need to take running costs and servicing costs into account. As well as road tax etc. Or is there another one I should consider? I did test drive the Volvo XC60 but found it very heavy.

Thanks.

Should I wait for the updated Skoda Octavia?

I was planning on buying a new Octavia in Feb and I've just seen the new one. Can get a deal on the old one now or is the new one worth waiting for?

Hyundai Tucson or SEAT Ateca?

Hyundai Tucson or SEAT Ateca? I can't decide! Which would you choose and why? I need a diesel, we have two kids and I commute about 150km a day in total.

Thanks

Thinking of replacing my Polo with a Fiesta...

Hi, I currently have a 2003 Volkswagen Polo, 1.2 65hp. I am thinking of trading it in and getting a Ford Fiesta. Is it as reliable as the Polo? Also, is the base 1.25 60hp engine enough for a car that is heavier and bigger than my Polo?

Will I get a Mazda CX-3 or Mazda3 hatchback?

Thinking of purchase a new car. My heart (perhaps not my head) is tending towards a Mazda CX-3 or 3 hatchback. I have a budget of about €22k, as well as trade in of my 06 SEAT Leon. What's the best car for my money? Tend to be in car on my own as second car is MPV for family.

Should I replace by Qashqai with a Tucson?

Hi guys,

I see the Hyundai Tucson everywhere. Would it be a good replacement for my Nissan Qashqai next year? Hoping to get finance and use the Nissan as a deposit.

Is it worth upgrading to a premium brand?

I would like some advice on changing from my Ford Mondeo to a higher price level car, say BMW 5 Series or Audi A6 or Mercedes. Is it worth all the extra cash? What will I feel that will be so much better?

I'd like a new car that is really comfortable.

Hi,

I have just been reading Neil Briscoe's article (June 2016) about Citroen's new suspension system. I take it Neil wasn't too impressed. I have a 2003 Citroen C5 that is a fantastically comfortable car. It will have to be replaced sometime unfortunately. Because I have spine injuries I would need something that is the equivalent in terms of a smooth ride.

What do you think the chances are of finding same?

Thanks
