So wife is looking at getting a new car. She constantly buys plants and has to drive on gravel and dirt roads sometimes so she wants an SUV.
Currently she drives a Tiguan, which we both thought was good, but the service from VW dealership close to us was crap. Not Peugeot crap, but not good enough. It's warranty is ending so we'll be getting rid of it and probably won't go VW again.
So as far as service goes, won't consider French of any manufacturer that's known to be dodgy in that department. I thought BMW, Mercedes, Honda or Subaru. Also need leather seats cause we have a messy baby and I don't want to clean fabric.
She likes the new Forester and given our positive experience with the brand, that's currently top of the list. Goes for R385K. Also considering the Merc GLA at R430K, and the new BMW X1, which I believe is launching Oct. She thought the CR-V was okay, but wasn't sold on it's capability vs the Subaru. I tend to agree.
Is there any reason why one would want to take the Merc or BMW and not the Subaru? We'll go for test drives over the weekend, but if you have any pointers on what to look out for would appreciate it.
