We're looking to buy a Crossover soon and after a fair bit of research the ASX seems to be top of the list.
It seems to tick quite a few boxes:
- Not bad economy (for a Xover)
- Japanese reliability/cheap parts (hopefully)
- Big boot
- High ride position (for the wife)
- Not mahooosive external dimensions (so the wife stands a chance of parking it)
- Not a Qashqai
- Reasonably priced (looking at 2-3 years old, <20k miles)
- Not bad looks (ok, maybe not as nice as the new Kias/Hyundis)
Anyone had/got one that can share any experiences with them?
I took a diesel one for a test drive a year or so ago. Quite nice but a bit clattery on acceleration. Bit of wind noise around the door mirrors at motorway speeds. You'lol need to take a test drive & make your own mind up. I personally would look at a '3' model at least as I insist on having cruise control, while front fog lights are a definite bonus.
'4' would be nicer still.
Diesel model had 9000 mile service interval if that makes any difference.
I ended up with a mkI Ford Kuga
The only owner I know is very happy with his. I'd be tempted to size up for an Outlander, seemed very popular on a recent thread, but I have kids and their junk to transport as well.
Outlander +1 - lots of room, drums for the carting around of. Should [i]just[/i] get them in the Kuga but would like more space. No Outlanders available in my price range at present though
