From: Kelpie on 29 Jun 2010 06:22 So many of the bloody things to choose from. I'd prefer to buy a 1 or 1.5 year old car so Tiguan is topping the list. If new I'd think about a Hyundai IX-35 or even the Santa Fe. I'd go the new diesel Forester but it's manual only at this stage. Any others I should chuck into the mix?

Santa Fe isn't really an 'even'; it's a good vehicle in most respects. Maybe check out the Kia Sorento as well? Why not a 1-2 yo whatever and save a shedload! -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au

Kelpie didn't say what his intended purpose is but unless he is doing lots of klms or intending to keep it for a very long time I'd probably look at a petrol Forester, ours isn't all that economical but its cheaper to buy than the Tiguan or the Santa Fe.

Looks like I could be doing high KMs and will have a business I can put 100% of the car through. Oh and another reason I want SUV is my knees are really giving me hell when I squeeze into the 'rolla. The Santa Fe looks great, only neg seems to be Hyundai re-sale values. > > -- > [This comment is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of > Scientology International] > "I like your Christ.
