TAFKARM Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 Subaru not on the list, I'd have loved a Forester Quote
jedm Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Interesting to know! Also got the height of decadence which is wonderful on cold mornings - a heated steering wheel Quote

dhutch Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Turns out my beloved Golf GTD, only a year old it being written off. On the bright side, time for a new car. Since we moved, the Golf didn't really "work" for us - it was too small and due to our location we could really do with a 4x4. Considering a Discovery Sport - does anyone have any experience? What location is that? I can understand wanting a larger car than a golf, and or not wanting a golf, but there are not many places in the UK you need a 4x4 to get to even in snow! If it is needing snow access on steep country roads the something like an Octavia 4x4 would get my vote. Else just get a 3 series estate surely? Daniel Quote

Daniel If he has to visit sites for work, you'd be surprised how frequently you do benefit from a proper four wheel drive. I gave up on beemer estates etc a few years ago after getting fed up having to lug heavy equipment and tools the final hundred yards in some cases, but more often haldpf a mile or more. It got so silly on some jobs if have to take someone with me, just to help move stuff from the car to the actual place of work. Quote
TAFKARM Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 ^ also I may not NEED one, but we want one. Much like we don't need the Westfield... 1 Quote

Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I have found the Volvo XC60 to be dynamically sound on the road and capable in slippery conditions with excellent comfort too. It would get my vote! 1 Quote
SootySport Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 The New Ford Edge will be great... Looks very American that. Quote

AllanI Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Discovery Sport is really Freelander 3, it's not that big load capacity wise. An X5 is useless if 4x4 capability is needed and they destroy rear tyres. Allan Quote
