Car opinions - Crossover SUV

Well 30 odd messages since I was last able to check the thread and I can just ignore most of them :ROFL:.

So the CX3 is a lot of fun to drive. It has fully reaffirmed the top spot on my list. I have the VW and the Suzuki left to go check out before the end of the week.

@pinball wizard I could not really give much of a rats arse about the practical space. I fit in the front and so will my SO. Luggage for about 2 weeks worth of road trip will comfortably fit the boot and if prams and bicycles suddenly become a priority I will seriously have to reevaluate some of my life choices.;) My SO will be replacing her car within the next 2 years so if the space things becomes a issue we can look at it then.

That said my decision will be made purely based on my own gut feeling. Right now, I like the CX3. I like how it looks, I like how it feels and I like how it drives. The price and features are a great plus.

Good enough then.

The only thing that would hold me back from the CX3 would be it is relatively thirsty in comparison to the smaller capacity turbo rivals. But, you do see 100's of them out on the roads, so they must be doing something right. (well, that, and I'm not ready to relinquish my title as the forum's biggest Renault fan just yet)

Reminds me of two dogs barking at each other through a gate :laugh:

Another point for you guys to consider in your SUV vs Sedan debate. The larger SUVs has better "road cred". People tend to get out of the way a lot quicker when a Prado barrels down at you than when it is a little Polo, Sedan or not.

Meh, I drive a polo as my daily and I have insurance so I don't really subscribe to that theory of being bullied off the road.

(also, I spent every day of primary school - and a fair amount of high school - being bullied, so I long ago gave up letting people with no right intimidate me)

Just like the CH-R the Creta has very odd shortcomings, there is no stability control in the whole range, I know they tried to make up for that with brake assist but again with rear drum brakes that won't necessarily be top notch.

For a car that starts at over R350k I think Hyundai did not do enough.

The Kona does not look like a bad choice.

Hyundai is one of those weird scenarios for me where I have family members who both own or owned a Hyundai and because of their experiences I have this immediate urge to just avoid it. That said the Kona starts at more than my max and well looking at thechamp's post on the creta I am just going to stick to my gut... Also the Creta's looks just do not appeal to me.
