As we come to the end of 2013 and that superstitious year, there are floods of new car deals on offer across all makes. Irish new car prices have been stable for the last two years as the market struggled in line with the overall economy.

Is 2014 the year of change? Car companies certainly hope so but they remain apprehensive and that’s your opportunity to take advantage of the best deals.

Look closely at the offers and compare models and finance before you commit to the car deal.

Likewise, check out car insurance deals; there are rumours of some premium level increases, so it makes it all the more important to shop around. In this supplement we give you a glimpse of some of the new cars for 2014.

Over 50 new cars were introduced in 2013, so expect at least as many in 2014.

The variety is huge; the performance and options have never been as varied.

So check out the value for 2014.

Safe motoring.
