I need a new car to accommodate my mum.

Hi,

I'm planning on buying a new car to accommodate my elderly mother. She has arthritis in her knees and has limited mobility in her lower limbs. She's 5'5" and uses two sticks, but I also need room for a wheelchair. I originally thought a higher car, e.g. an SUV, but they are too high for her. I'd appreciate any advice or car recommendations.

Regards

Orla Curran

Should I go for the Citroen C4 Cactus?

I have three kids and like the Citroen C4 Cactus, but is it too small in the back I think. Would you recommend the Citroen C4 Cactus and if so which spec? Currently have 2004 Ford Focus C-Max so could do scrappage scheme.

Thanks

Is the Qashqai's 1.5-litre engine enough?

Is the Qashqai's 1.5-litre engine powerful enough or does the 1.6 make for a better alternative to the Hyundai Tucson or the Toyota RAV4? My driving is a mix of rural roads, motorways and urban.

What new petrol SUVs cost less than €40k?

I hope to change my Kia Sportage soon. I do less than 10,000 kilometres a year so I may go for petrol and an automatic. Give us some SUV options south of €40k.

Thanks

Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage?

I'm shopping for a crossover... Help me decide between the Kia Sportage and the Hyundai Tucson please. Interior space, interior design, value for money and a comfortable economic drive would be the qualities that would sway my decision...

Please help!

Is the 1.0-litre engine enough for the Astra?

Hi,

I'm considering buying the new 1.0 litre petrol Opel Astra. I live in West Cork and most trips would be local most days between five miles and fifteen miles and a trip to Cork (50 miles) every couple of weeks. My present car is a 1.6 diesel Golf, but I want to move away from diesel. Do you think the small engine of the Astra would be enough for my needs?

Thanks.
