Small Suvs?

I thought no you'll find it hard to find an automatic, petrol SUV.

If you don't make no diesel there is a very sweet looking Ford Kuga in Navan on Done deal. I'd recommend the Kuga.

The OP wants a small crossover/SUV like a Nissan Juke though. The Kuga is slightly bigger than a Qashqai not to mind a Juke.

I get that but I was in his position a few years ago and ended up test driving loads of cars. Kuga came out on top and I was very happy with it.
Moved on to bigger since but if I could I'd go back to a Kuga.

Avoid the Mokka. It's an awful car and isn't particularly cheap. My mam has an automatic 1.4 petrol. It's slow and handles like a bus. You have to work for the power because it doesn't go anywhere in the lower revs. It's also a really loud engine, it screams at 4,000 revs and the gearbox is eager to downshift when you're accelerating to get up to speed on a slip road or when overtaking so you'll hear it a lot.

It's also a very uncomfortable car. You feel every bump on the road and it's made worse by how rattly the interior is. The boot is tiny and there's almost no legroom in the rear and no headroom. Visibility is very poor in the rear as the pillars are all quite big.

Fuel economy isn't good either and tax is €570. If you drive one get up to 80kph and make sure there's no whistling coming from the door seals.
