Thread: Recommend and SUV

    Recommend and SUV

    If you had £5000 to spend and you were looking for a reliable SUV, what would you go for?

    I was thinking Vauxhall Antara until I saw the reviews.

    Ideally I would like an Audi Q5 but I doubt I'd find a decent one at that price.

    Not a bad shout, better reviews than the Antara, bit pricier though.

    Not sure about the price, but I had a company Tiguan and that was rock solid.

    I like it! Again, a bit pricier than I was hoping but that is a nice vehicle.

    You would have trouble finding any Q5 or even a Q3 for even twice your price. Also consider the cost of repairing these vehicles. My Q3 with only 13000 miles on the clock had a new transfer box last week. Had it not been under warranty the cost of repair would have been around £3k. My advice would be to avoid anything with 4 wheel drive.

    For that budget, Jimny or Vitara, possibly an older Santa Ve or Tuscon.

    Older model Honda CRV ? Very reliable motor with lots of space inside and the boot.

    Well to be honest it's a bit of an extravagance for me to spend that kind of money of an SUV particularly as it'll just be a local runaround, town and back, school, shops, occasional airport run, so I'll probably talk myself out of it pretty soon.

    In the meantime I've got my heart set on either a Q5 (which I know isn't happening) or the Volkswagen Tiguan that bluejay suggested, it looks like just the thing I'm after.

    If it's a runaround don't buy a diesel as unless you do a lot of long journeys you will end up with expensive DPF problems.
