It is fitted as standard on grades above entry level. Clever details increase the usable space inside, including the fuel tank, which is in the centre of the vehicle beneath the front seats, allowing for a flat floor and greater legroom for rear-seat passengers. In addition, the versatile &#8216;magic seats&#8217; offer the ability to carry long, tall, or wide items in numerous configurations and it has one of largest boot in its class, with 453-litre capacity and 1,026 litres with the rear seats folded away. There is a choice of two engines: a 130 bhp 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol or a 120 bhp 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel. Average fuel economy is impressive and the petrol model returns 5.6 litres per 100 or 50.4 mpg with CO2 emissions of 130g\/km, so it&#8217;s \u20ac270 a year to tax. On the road, it is not the most exciting to drive but the use of space inside is clever and it is well equipped, stylish with excellent practicality, making the Honda HR-V a crossover worth considering.<br \/>\n<em>Prices start from \u20ac<\/em><\/span><\/span><em><span style=\"font-size: large;\">23,995<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Jaguar E-Pace<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_18865\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18865\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-18865 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE.jpg 425w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE-321x214.jpg 321w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Jaguar-E-PACE-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jaguar E-Pace<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Chic, sleek, sophisticated, the E-Pace certainly has an edge over rivals. Inside, it is well thought out, modern and comfortable, with nods to the F-Type throughout. It is also awash with charging points and USB connections as well as a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices. Every\u00a0E-Pace\u00a0also features the latest generation of Jaguar&#8217;s Touch Pro infotainment system. Natural voice control technology, a 10-inch touch-screen interface and a customisable home screen make interactions with the system quick, simple and intuitive. The boot is a spacious 577 litres, but despite its size the car never feels particularly roomy inside and space in the back is far from generous. On the road, the bodywork is heavier than you&#8217;d expect, the result is a reassuring sturdiness but the downside is a weighty car that feels cumbersome when compared with the larger F-Pace. If you decide to buy one, there are numerous decisions to make; petrol or diesel, manual or automatic, FWD or AWD and four trim levels, Plenty of people want an engaging and premium SUV that will garner admiring glances in a supermarket car park and for those the E-Pace is a price many will find worth paying.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Prices start from \u20ac36,000<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Mazda CX-3<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_18866\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18866\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18866\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3.jpg 425w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3-321x214.jpg 321w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Family_motoring_guide_-Mazda-CX-3-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mazda CX-3<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Based on the Mazda 2, the CX-3 combines rugged looks and a high-riding driving position but d<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #121212;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">oesn&#8217;t sacrifice any of the small car\u2019s sharp handling and general nippiness either. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Featuring Mazda&#8217;s signature look, the CX-3 is a good-looking car and could easily be mistaken for a CX-5 from a distance. Four trim levels are available: SE, Executive, Executive SE and GT. The range-topping GT adds 18&#8243; diamond-cut alloy wheels and a Bose surround-sound system. Inside it is nicely finished and a 7&#8243; touchscreen and cruise control are standard but the stylish exterior means a compromise with space, so it&#8217;s a little cramped and visibility is not great. The CX-3 is available as a 2-litre petrol SkyActiv-G (120ps) in front wheel drive and 1.5-litre diesel SkyActiv-D (105ps) in both front and four-wheel drive versions. On the road its really <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #121212;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> fun to drive and will make you want to slalom down empty back roads.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"> Safety features are good and the CX-3 was awarded four out of five stars by Euro NCAP.

Inside, the dashboard is all very familiar and is easy to use, but it lacks the styling flair of the exterior. The swathe of plastic across the dashboard is dull and charmless, but overall it all feels of reasonable quality. There are three petrol engines to choose from, a three-cylinder, 95 PS 1.0 TSI, which is linked to a five-speed manual gearbox. Also available is a more powerful 115 PS version and a new four-cylinder, 150 PS TSI mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. A diesel 1.6 TDI will be available with 95 and 115 PS but pick of the engine range is the 1.0-litre TSI. The Arona compact SUV, hits just the right note with\u00a0sporty styling, keen pricing and\u00a0good driving dynamics.<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><em>Prices start from \u20ac17,995<\/em><\/span><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/safety.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-18877\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/safety.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/safety.jpg 850w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/safety-300x149.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/safety-768x381.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/family-high-fives\/\">Part One &#8211;
