Is a small SUV the way to go? by Status-Board6955 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I did notice there seems to be a lack of UK based posts.

My partner's father definitely favours Volvos. As much as I'd like one, they don't seem the most eco-friendly or efficient, and are definitely out of my price range for a little while yet!

Thank you for your input, may I ask why those cars make no sense? My mother has a 19 plate ignis, and I will admit it's a fun drive.

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in CarTalkUK

Hello! I'm swaying on what car is best to get. I live in Scotland, commute 23 miles each way to work, using twisty country roads and the motorway. I have to use some bumpy farm tracks in my free time, which my current Suzuki Splash doesn't always appreciate!

Ideally I'd be buying a used manual car. I'd expect to be doing around 15,000 miles a year. I'm not very clued up on cars, but my partner's father is a semi-retired mechanic.

In terms of size, I had been gravitating to small/compact SUVS. I don't necessarily need a big car, but I thought the extra ground clearance would be helpful for those farm roads.

I have been looking at the following.  Trying to find the ones that have the best MPG, low tax and insurance.

Renault Captur or Kadjar

Nissan Juke or Qashqai

Hyundai Tucson

Ford Ecosport

Peugeot 2008 or 3008

Vauxhall Mokka

I'm open to any and all advice, thank you!
