Second hand Velar - am I a maniac?

[BenWhiting13]

The pitter patter of small feet is on the way and I’m going to have to reluctant move on from hot hatches to appease an anxious better half.

I know the hot hatch ticks the boxes but seemingly nothing will do other than a dreaded SUV.

I’ve always liked the look off the Velar but the reliability reputation of JLR online seems to be horrendous. However I’m conscious that the web is just full of people moaning.

So my question to the PH community is this, am I a maniac for considering a second hand petrol Velar for under £30k and should I just settle for the safer bet of a Q5 box! Can they really be that unreliable?

Why do you ‘need’ an SUV?

When our lad was born I had a Jag XF and it was fine. The wife had a Citroen C4 and was fine.

If you genuinely want to go down the SUV route and the decision is made then fine but don’t limit your choice.
