Any issues with nearly new Mazda6s?

Are you aware of any issues with the Mazda6? I am thinking of getting a Platinum model , but am a little worried as there are a good number for sale (six- to nine-month old cars being disposed of so soon). Are the salesmen holding something back?

Many thanks

Should all my tyres be the same?

Hi, I recently bought a second hand car and noticed one of my rear tyres is a slightly different size (245/45 R18) to the three other tyres (245/40 R18). I am due an NCT in March; can you tell me if this would contribute to a fail? Are there any other downsides to this? Car rides and handles perfectly.

Thanks, Andy K (Kildare)

What will I replace my Lexus GS with?

Hi, I currently drive a Lexus GS 300. I love it but the tax is too expensive. I have about €25k to spend and I was thinking of the Audi Q3, but it has to be automatic. Is there any other model you would suggest? My car is over 10 years old, so other car dealers are offering the scrappage deal. What would you suggest?

How about the Opel Mokka for a new car?

Hi,

Thank you for your very prompt reply and your advice. The cee'd estate is that now known as the cee'd Sportswagon, right, available in TX and EX versions. Also, may I ask, is the Opel Mokka in the running with a very generous €4,500 scrappage allowance?

Thanks again, Anto
