What new Skoda models are on the way?

Hi!

Could you please tell me what plans Skoda has for new /replacement/updated models. I believe this information was given in the Sunday World on 26 December (in the write up on the Skoda Yeti), but I missed it.

Which car to replace my beloved Saab?

Hi

I'm looking to replace our '99 Saab 9-3, which has been a great car - now with 206,000 miles on the clock. I'm looking for a safe, reliable family car - four- or five-door - with low tax. I'm contemplating 2008 models to reduce tax - we're currently paying  €634. I'm looking at Skoda Octavia, Volvo S40, Volkswagen Passat, Saab 9-3 and Toyota Avensis. I want manual and probably diesel. Which would you advise or are there others to consider?

Where will I get my Jaguar serviced?

Hi guys,

I'm looking at buying a 2001 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 petrol with very low mileage on the clock. Is there anything I should be aware of in terms of getting it serviced? I don't plan on driving it too much but if something did go wrong is it going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix?

Thanks for your help.

Which mid-size SUV for €20,000?

What would you recommend in terms of a mid-size 4X4/SUV? Diesel is the preferred option with a sensible tax band a major consideration as well as decent fuel economy. I have circa €20,000 to spend on straight cash deal.

How do I cope with the slippy conditions in my two-wheel drive SUV?

Can you recommend any budget all-wheel drive SUV or estate car? I tow a caravan for a couple of weeks over the summer and live on a road that occassionally floods so four-wheel drive could be useful. I have a Hyundai Sante Fe with two-wheel drive at moment and it is particularly poor in snow or slippy conditions. Would you have any recommendations?
