I don't particularly like my CR-V, bought it new when we got here as it ticked all the boxes but its a really boring car to drive.

X-Trail wins for me. Had two back in the UK and the Aventura Explorer was awesome - not sure what they call it here. Drive an Outlander for work and to be honest it struggles power wise up hills and the gear ratio on the automatic is not good. Hate the RAV4 with a passion and dont think much of the X5 or pajero either - too much roll on the suspension for me, gives me motion sickness when you sit in the back. Cant comment on the Honda - never been in one.

Never gets a mention in these threads and it should. Nissan Murano. I have one and so far I couldn't fault it.

X-Trails in the UK are usually diesels I think, I tried a petrol X-Trail here and it was OK but nowhere near as good as my prev car in the UK, Freelander 2 diesel, I'd have one again if they weren't so exxy here. X-trail diesels can be got here, but again its quite a bump in the price.

I love my RAV4- we have that and a Forestor and the RAV4 wins.

(I have mentioned at work I will be selling it in a month or so- moving to UK for a while- and several people have expressed interest. It seems very popular car).

Anything but don't buy Ssangyong!

We brought a Honda CRV just over 4 years ago. We have put 162,000 kms on it and it hasnt missed a beat. I would highly recommend one of these.
