Welcome to the 30th annual edition of Auto Ireland Magazine, a milestone year for this iconic guide to new cars. Once again, First Citizen Finance is delighted to sponsor this indispensable resource, celebrating three decades of empowering car buyers across Ireland.
As Managing Director, I am proud to highlight that this exceptional publication continues to be produced and printed right here in the Republic of Ireland, showcasing homegrown excellence in automotive journalism.
This special anniversary edition offers a comprehensive guide to the latest car models, insightful reviews, and practical advice to help you navigate your car-buying journey. Editor Shane O’Donoghue and the team at CompleteCar.ie have crafted an engaging and informative resource for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
At First Citizen Finance, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in motor finance. Whether through our mobile app, First Citizen Abacus, or platforms like Autopoint.ie, which connects local car buyers with approved motor dealers, we strive to simplify the car-buying journey. Both Autopoint.ie and our website, firstcitizen.ie, make it easy to apply for car finance, offering tailored repayment terms to suit individual budgets. With Abacus, customers can explore finance options, connect directly with our Customer Service team, and manage requests seamlessly—all from the palm of their hand.
As we celebrate 30 years of Auto Ireland Magazine, we look forward to another year of driving excellence with you. Thank you for choosing First Citizen Finance as your trusted partner in motoring. Here’s to a safe and rewarding driving journey in 2025.
Happy Driving!
