What will I replace by Hyundai Santa Fe with?
I'm currently driving a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0-litre 2WD... It's a lovely car and has great spec for its time - leather upholstery, a/c, cruise control, etc, but on the downside is poor on fuel consumption and motor tax. I drive about 20,000km per year - manily Dublin with about 10 trips to Mayo each year.
What would you recommend replacing it with?

Why do UK dealers offer larger discounts than Irish ones?
I was looking at some UK owner forums while researching new cars and was struck by the level of discount people seen to achieve. Figures of 15% and 17% seemed very achievable with large "dealer contributions" being mentioned, even on high-spec BMWs and Mercedes. I have never been able to get anything close to this in Ireland. Am I a poor negotiator or do Irish dealers not have the margin to do this? What discount levels are possible in your experience?
