What about that big Skoda 4×4 then (kodiac I think it’s called)

Regarding the Evoque’s cosmetically challenging status, I’m almost certain it shared the same design team as the Ssanyong Rodius.

Just back from France having seen a few 3008s. They’ve certainly improved the look of them.

If the wife doesn’t like the X1 (odd, unless she doesn’t want to be like you) then what about this.. Q2. In my quest for a replacement for the mahoosive XC60, the X1 is on my list (though the mini underpinnings unsettle me a little) the Audi Q2 in all its gubbins looks nice, and I drove one today and have to say in 2ltrD (baby Robin killer mode) it’s a nice car indeed. Though if you add up all the bits to go on it it becomes as expensive as an XDrive X1 (which is bigger)

Any real life disc sport pics with bikes/ gear inside? Real life Bootspace pics helpful.

Someone commented about the Peugot 3008 today. Im not really a peugot fan, but the reviews seem to dictste its the best family SUV.

Horrid driving position, absolutely nowhere to stretch out your left leg, it more or less has to be kept bent which is very uncomfortable after half an hour, and it’s very upright, like a van with a fixed seat.
Of course, not everyone has an arthritic left knee, but it’s still not a car I look forward to driving.

The new one? Becuase that comment flies in the face if the reviews is why i ask.

Not that im any more enthused to get one, as i dont see it brpearing up an better than the current Kuga after 10 years, whereas the BMW and current VAG lot probably will be in better condition.

The new one is SUV. The old one was more MPV. Like I said, the few I saw in France actually looked nice enough, if anything less zany than press release images show. Auto Express certainly reviews it favourably. Worth a look. Base model comes pretty well loaded and is a bit cheaper than LR or X1 I’d imagine.

My Mother recently bought the previous 3008, whilst it’s looks are questionable, when you are in it it’s reasonably well screwed together and sits high enough for her sub 5ft stature to peer out of the windows, and get in/out too.

So, I wouldn’t dismiss the 3008 in its new guise but does all come around to image really.

But, isn’t that at the core of what this thread is about?

No

Its not my car, and my materialism factor is reducing daily. It needs to be practical and reliable for school runs and the odd motorway journey, be a nice place to be with some convienient touches. Its the 1.2 Turbo Petrol im looking at in the 3008. Itd be nice if it didnr rattle and becoming annoying within the next 7 years.

Then buy it.

My Mother likes hers, and it’s the old model. She bought it after a Honda Civic (succession of 3 in 6 years) and I thought she’d hate it, but it’s high visual stance and the cabin is kitted out very nicely. The new one can only be much better.

Why not buy another Kuga, at least you know what they’re all about.
