Which Crossover?
Discussion
Looking for something to replace the Mrs lease (current shape X Trail) with in a couple of months.
Criteria - crossover/SUV, <2 years old, <40k, around £15k, Auto, trimmings such as DAB, NAV, bluetooth necessary, leather and 4wd a plus but not essential. Economy a consideration, but not major for 10k ish a year.
Have narrowed it down mainly to CX5 or Kuga, but Mitsubishi ASX or Tiguan are potentials. Yeti, 500X, Mini, Sportage have been ruled out.
I'm leaning towards the CX5, but not sure why. Don't really like the Kuga interior. Anything I've missed? What would you go for?

You can get a Juke Nismo RS for that. My favourite crossover on the market. Id get one if I had 15k! 
Now that's interesting, for me, sadly I doubt she will get past the looks
.We've had a Kuga Titanium X Sport for 12 months, on a two year lease. Both my wife and I think it's great and much better than the Q3 it replaced, in most areas.
It's a 2.0 diesel manual. Heated leather, navigation, cruise, panoramic roof, self parking and all that gubbins. Only returns about 40mpg but that's mainly pootling around town etc.
It could do with a bit more power, and the interior ergonomics aren't great. The SYNC system, well I prefer the 6 year old CIC system in my 3 series.
We would definitely consider another when this needs replacing in 12 months.

They sell millions of the fake ones with the coloured accents to young women, girls tend to love them because they are 'funky' & 'cute'. You get yourself a 2nd car with a fantastic slip diff, adaptive sports-ish suspensions and general good steer for what it is, wife gets a cute little runaround which will get to 70 on slip roads real fast. Id float it too her and see if she likes them .
I've taken a look, auto's start at 17k which is a tad much, and I know she doesn't like the looks, she's said so before! They also don't seem overly quick for a 200+ bhp small car, 8.3 to 60..rsbmw said:

Wow, I remember the days when that would get you to 60 in 6 seconds. Christ these things are fat!Boring choice, my parents have an ASX, they love it, and it's really not that bad. Very very practical, massive load space with seats down, they do all my dump runs!
Comfy, easy to drive, only issue I have is the interior is all very "wipe clean" solid quality, but just a bit ... Meh....
The computer is quite clever with all the bells and whistles.

A sorry I missread the auto part. The AWD/CVT is pretty s
t in comparison to the 6speed/fwd manual. Also 8.3 is the older nismo, new nisno rs is 7seconds flat (for the manual, not sure about the auto). Ah well, good luck with the search bud.
