Opinions, advice needed

    Hi all.
    Just looking for advice and opinions on the following.

    Currently have 07 caddy, bought it new and have 400k on it, so it owes me nothing. Still drives well (kinda) front shocks after gone, they have never been replace before so I suppose I complain, but the bigger issue is the abs unit is shot.
    Breaks work find just no abs. Last year I replaced back caliper, disc and pad all round as well as full service including timing belt. 6/8 weeks later the turbo said it had enough, so got that replace and now the abs unit.
    So it think it's time to say farewell to the trusted steed..
    So hears the thing...
    I do like the caddy but jaysus they have done nothing with them in real terms over the years.. while donedeal is awash with them, 90% are white and as basic as it gets. Loads of 75bph or 105 start line model. I also hear that the 1.6 engine is not as good as the older 1.9 tdi that's in my own one.
    I do need some type of commercial vehicle as I carry stuff for work daily. Sorry I just have no love for the Berlingo/Partner or Kangoo
    I am considering a change to a Ford Kuga or Maybe Hyundai ix35.. space wise they would probably do, as I don't usually carry large loads.

    So what's the opinions on any of these.. pro's and con's for both.
    Budget is approx 6.5k to 7k might stretch a bit, so that rules out the new Transit connect which I do like I have to say...

    So shoot away.. honesty is always a good thing ;)
