Toyota's 2018 Corolla comes in two lengths, depending on whether you look at the sedan or the hatchback. The 2018 Corolla sedan measures in at 4620mm while the hatch is only 4275mm.
It’s hard to say one over the other, both appeal. The Forester is well built, it has all the features you want, and would be reliable. The Volvo has the style, the features, and would also be reliable, in the sense that there is nothing of a serious nature that could bite you on the backside down the track. As they’re both three to five years old they shouldn’t be expensive to service, particularly the Forester, which has capped-price servicing. I would go with your head and choose the Forester, but you have to like what you drive, and I could equally understand if you chose the Volvo. You wont go far wrong with either of them.
There isn’t a new Ignis scheduled for release in 2018.
It’s an unusual situation, so I would try to negotiate with Kia and appeal to their good will to adjust the warranty for you.
Of those you list I would go for the Mitsubishi ASX. You could also try the Kia Sorento or Mazda CX-5.
You’re going to be hard-pressed to show that the problem was either a design or manufacturing problem, as it’s unlikely to be either. Even though the wiring loom just sits and doesn’t appear to be subjected to any stress it being subjected to all the bumps, vibrations and whatever else is happening through the vehicle in general. It could be a faulty connection; it could be any number of things. Pay up and get on with your retirement.
It depends on which parts you want. You should be able to get most mechanical parts from outlets like Bursons, or you could go on line where you’ll find a number of parts suppliers. For body parts you would need to go to a wrecker.
There are so few LDVs out there it’s hard to say how reliable they are, but we know the iMax and Carnival are good. I would go for the Carnival.
All diesel engines today have turbochargers, and believe me you wouldn’t want to drive a non-turbo diesel. Of those you mention I would go for a Mitsubishi ASX, or consider a Kia Sorento.
