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

What compact exec would you choose in a diesel auto as a private buyer? BMW 320d M Sport, Audi A4 S tronic, Jaguar XE Portfolio or Mercedes-Benz C-Class? Or would you go with something cheaper like a Volkswagen Passat Highline DSG 190?

Is the Toyota RAV4 worth the price?
Hi,
I want to trade in my 2008 Ford Focus diesel for a new or nearly new car. I really like the SUV style. I drive at least 1,000km per week to and from work so I need something that's reliable, will hold its value and able for big mileage. I really like the Toyota RAV4, but is it worth the price?
What car would you suggest?

I'd like a new Mercedes GLC 220 d Sport.
I am considering the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz GLC 220 d, but I note the Sport version of this car does not seem to be available from Mercedes-Benz Ireland. Is this going to remain the case or is it likely that the Sport will come on stream, as I would like to consider this car spec as it opens the door to the Off Road Option wherein I would be able to take the car into forest tracks etc, but not in any severe capacity.

Which new petrol estate should I go for?
Hi guys,
I currently drive a 2011 Volkswagen Passat saloon 1.4 TSI, but am looking to change to an estate. The obvious choice is the Passat Estate 1.4 TSI, but is there any other petrol estate I should consider? My mileage doesn't justify the change to diesel.
Thanks.

Is the Mitsubishi Outlander worth a look?
We are looking for a seven seater to replace our 2005 Land Rover Discovery. The tax needs to be less and I see the Outlander looks good in that respect. Are there any PCP deals available on cars of this type?
