When can I get hold of the new Volvo XC90?
Do you know if the new model Volvo XC90 will be here in January or is it more likely mid-2015? Also any idea what price level it will be? I would expect it to be more expensive than the current model but will they try and pitch it at BMW X5/Audi Q7?

Evoque, GLA, 3 Series or Mazda CX-5?!
I'm driving a Audi A4 4 1.9 diesel and I will be trading in over the next few months. Mercedes-Benz has offered me best deal so far to buy a GLA 220 Urban model. I am also looking at 3 Series BMW Sport 318d, and the Range Rover Evoque and I looked at the Mazda CX5. I drove the Audi Q3 last year and I was very disappointed with the seats. Which of the above would you recommend? My heart would love the Evoque, but my head says it's not a German. I am a lady driver doing mostly motorway and around town driving. I would appreciate any opinion you may have.

Is the 1.4-litre Volkswagen Golf under-powered?
Should I buy a 2006-2007 Volkswagen Golf with the 1.4 petrol engine? I heard that the engine is too small for this car, which gives high fuel consumption and car is not powerful enough, is that true?
