Don't buy the x-trail without trying the Mazda cx series. I tired a cx3 and thought it was a really nice motor. I've not sat in but not driven but the 5 I think would be similar. I thought the new Kia sportage was also very nice. I'm saying this as a bit of a badge man as my first thought is to go for European motors but you can't argue with quality for your money. My mechanic raves about both of the above also.
I think CX3 is a fair bit smaller than the X-Trail. CX5 would more comparable but fair play I've never driven it.
Agree on that, it is a fair bit smaller. Depends on what you need. Very nice finish on both though. The CX 3 was a great drive too.
How about pampers.. coz our shirt has soaked up some **** in the past/ is in the present / will do in the future
I had 5 Golf GTi's in a row of each mark from the first, 4 was a complete mess, terrible version but 1 and 5 were brilliant, if I had the budget it would be a Golf R or Audi RS 3 for me, the only thing is service costs have shot up, even the Fiesta service with 1st MOT is getting on for £400. I know that I can get it cheaper elsewhere but having had problems in the past trying to get things repaired after servicing at least I can get accountability from a dealer and have even had the full cost of service and MOT refunded from a main dealer in the past when things went wrong with their systems.
If I had the budget I would go for the new Alfa Giulia QV. Never been a fan of German cars myself. drove a scirocco R last year. For the price it is garbage.
If budget was not a problem, it'd be Jaguar F-Pace all day long. I'll be probably going for the higher end X-Trail rather than a slightly older XC60. Already have a Nissan so probably going to maximise my part-ex and finance by staying with. Not really sure of these Kia and Hyundai suggestions. Mazda's nice but just more expensive to service and source parts than Nissan.
Hyundai/ Kia's are decent. I can't get away with the interiors which are cheap plastic. Aside from the Kia Ceed, they are ugly as hell too.
I've just sold my GT which I was a not too happy about but trying to buy a house and didn't actually need the second car. Last summer for my honeymoon we hired a 1962 Giulia Spider to drive the amalfi coast which was class!
I was looking at the GT before I bought my Mito. Still love getting in and driving. True what they say - True drivers car. I'd love to get behind the wheel of the classic Spider. Then again, I'd love to drive the Giulia QV and leave everyine for dust!
