Just wondering if anyone can advise me a little in my search for new car. I am quite a tall chap so am after SUV size. I also want an automatic, adaptive cruise control and an in-built satnav preferably one that doesn't require spending every few months to update. Those are my main 'wants'. Something that I am also after is good reliability. If anyone has any insight into the cars listed or any others that may be similar I would appreciate any info.
Many thanks. I had a Vauxhall Grandland X on a 24 month lease, contract hire so it was returned when the fixed term came to an end. The model I had was the 1. To say that I loved it would be an understatement, it was comfortable to be inside and it smoothed out the road bumps and potholes very well.
Thank you for the info. The Grandland wasn't my favourite when I had a ait down in one as I didn't get the 'snug' feeling I prefer. Also I didn't realise it was based on the If you have that sort of money, A Tucson or cousin Sportage will have all the bits you want and be reliable.
Go for new, and you will get deposit contribution on the new cars AND the warranty, and the lower pcp intersest rates. The warranty and good reputation of Kia is what I am after. I meant to put it in the list of cars I liked and the Sportage was one of them.
I did wonder if going for new was a better option. I will look into this further. First thing is, I hope your is not the current on shape, as the Grandland is the same car under the skin!. If it was the older shape, the gearbox problems make sense as most of them used the EGC automated manual which were not great.
