We struggled to get an xc60 within budget, hadn't thought about the alfa though

[rykard]

we won't be doing serious off roading. LR and RR are out of our budget

will look at the Kia

[rykard]

We need petrol due to lack of miles done.
The kuga was too small inside for me ,big shoulders, and the seat was like a perch.

Just test drove the xt, hmmmm

[rykard]

Booked in to test drive a stelvio on Thurs.

We ruled oyf the bmws as they didn't fit nicely

What I liked most about the XT vs the competition (apart from the performance) is the light, airy cabin and great visibility.

thought the XT drove very well.

[rykard]

We do 10.miles each way or 3 miles each way as a commute. Is there anything we need to be aware of with the forester at?

[rykard]

Extremely impressed by the crv.

[rykard]

Didn't like the look if the rav4. Cx5 doesn't have 4wd.

I drove a 62 plate petrol auto a few weeks back... I presume they've improved since then!?

We have a 16 petrol auto that is a bit underpowered, the new one is 193hp and is a lot better.

A 240hp petrol auto LR Disco Sport comes in at under £40k O.T.R

They couldn't get the monthlies to work fir us without a large deposit

[rykard]

Nx looks interesting but the monthlies/deposit were too much. The memory seats put it up to 44k plus servicing etc.
The seats in the xt weren't for me couldn't get comfy.
We want a higher driving position hence the suv.

Thoughts on the jeep compass

[rykard]

Just drove a glc. Really nice and the initial figures stacked up too. That has thrown the while tool box in the works......

Skoda Kodiaq TSI??

This is what started this search, we cancelled our order for a kodiaq when skoda couldn't give us a delivery date

[rykard]

was the cause ever discovered/

Are the 2018/19 ones still doing the same?

[rykard]

Well it's moved on a bit. Honda can't supply a crv ex and have no idea when they will be. So we've ended up looking very closely at the Alfa stelvio super 200 with a couple of extras... its like no one wants my money....
