I had one as a courtesy car when my proper 4x4 was being serviced. Same issues described as above. I disliked it very much. Also everyone who travelled in it commented on how it made them feel car sick due to the bouncy ride.

Shame really I quite fancied getting one for the wife. I still reckon the best small 4x4 hands down is the VW Tiguan.

Mate had one as a Motability car, and it gave him no end of trouble, including leaving him stranded when the immobiliser spat the dummy. He got a Nissan Note instead, and it's been A1 so far.

Tried one on for size due to stupid 6'5" height... it didn't fit; more relevant for sensible height people is the fact that the back seats were "like sitting on a park bench" and the ride is not a comfortable one at all.

Oh..forgot to mention the Skoda Yeti....do a search on in YouTube for Skoda yeti in the snow...pretty bloody impressive really.

Only issue I have with them is that in black they look like a pimped London taxi.

I've got one ... in black. To be honest I wished I'd gone for the Kia Sportage. I have the 1.6 petrol and it's very under powered. Can't wait to get rid.

Isn't the Yeti pretty much the same as the Tiguan underneath? Get a 2 litre one.

Mother in law has a 2 litre 4motion jobby and it's sweet as.

"Mother in law has a 2 litre 4motion jobby and it's sweet as." Is it just me who thinks this is VERY wrong???

Can't use "reply with quote" for some reason today - probably my own incompetence!

Definately go for the Kia Sportage (2011-2012 model and top spec) cracking buggy. My other half's father is a motoring correspondant and rated it well enough to buy one in white with black Mag alloys. Tidy
