Do I need an SUV for towing my horsebox on the motorway?

Hi, what SUV would you recommend for pulling a horsebox and also motorway driving? I do about 500 to 600km a week going up and down to Dublin a couple of times a week from the midlands so I need an SUV that is economical on diesel but also able to handle a horsebox.

Many thanks

What site is best to find a nearly new car?

I am in the market of a nearly new car. Is there any one website where I can be guaranteed to find all of the stock available at any one time from all of the various dealers as there are several websites that seem to filling the same role and don't want to have to keep checking them all.

Is the clutch in the Nissan Qashqai+2 ok?

I am trading in my 2007 Toyota Avensis Strata for a Nissan Qashqai+2. Just wondering are there problems with the clutches in them, as the warranty from the garage does not cover this.

Thanks

I need a very large car for up to €16,000.

I have a budget of around €13,000 to €16,000 and and need to buy a seven-seater diesel that will accommodate two adults and five children aged 7, 10, 12, 14 and 17 years. Have no interest in what the car looks like, need the most reliable engine, with the most leg room possible and will not be trading up etc so maintenance costs a factor too. Will drive the car for as long as it lasts, live in the countryside so average weekly mileage around 130km.

Would be so grateful for some advice.
