    Car to buy

    Hello,

    Can you advise out of these which SUV is good - HONDA CRV(Old design), VOLVO XC60, VW Tiguan or any other ?

    Thanks

    Had a Renault Kadjar as a courtesy car a couple of months back; nice enough but not for my liking, even with the full spec.
    I've always liked the Lexus SUV with the Mercedes or Audi Q7 as other options.

    Depends what your budget is though.

      How old?
      Which engine?
      2WD or 4WD?


      The Wife(tm) had a 57 plate petrol CRV. It drank fuel and couldn't pull teeth.
      She now has a diesel Tiguan, which is faster and almost 2x as economical, although this may change when they do the software patch for the emissions.

        Apparently, as a new for 2016 option, some garages will now let you try out one of their cars to see whether you like it yourself rather than relying on a bunch of random strangers on the Internet to tell you.

        Why not take them up on this new service offering?

          That will never catch on!

          Anyway get a black, silver or grey one. They are the best.

            What are these mysterious test drives you talk about?

              I'm guessing the OP thought asking on here would be more "fun"

                  Or vastly overpaid contractors would drive 10 year-old low end SUVs?
