SUV v Saloon

You’re always going to get better MPG from a saloon/estate than a crossover/SUV etc just because of the shape and size.

Would you consider a Superb estate or a Prius if you need a bit of extra space and practicality over a saloon? You’d get very nice examples of those for your budget.

Also, I and a few others on this forum are very anti-suv/crossover. So if we can keep one more person out of those pointless vehicles, we will!

How are SUV's pointless?

Because they confer no advantage over a car.

I know SUVs are everywhere but I really enjoy seeing the increase in estates around the country, they really are the perfect balance imo.

The Skoda Superb Combi & Peugeot 508 SW are great looking family cars.

Get an end of line passat seeing as they don't sell them anymore. Get it in nice spec and it should hold its value better than most.

Vulnerable road users more likely to be killed if hit by them compared to a car, they roll over given half a chance. So much worse for the environment than the alternatives and so on and so on…

But there okay as long as your profiting off them?? 😂😂

That was a bad week. Back on my medication now 😂😂

I’ve driven both, SUVs all the way and I make no apologies to the anti SUV brigade…advantages..

bigger boot space

elevated driving position which is probably my favourite thing and I say that not being a small person. But it gives you a better vantage of everything and anyone around you. Love that about them.

people moaning about SUVs by the ‘standards’ they espouse should be moaning about vans, lorries, motor homes, trucks and anything else of that nature, but, no, the anti SUV infatuation, just bizarre.

the only disadvantage i experienced was in certain businesses with tight parking spaces like Dublin airport car parking for example and it’s a tight squeeze and some and more challenging to manoeuvre.

the superb estate has a bigger boot than the kodiak.

You are no doubt correct if you consider an SUV to be a Lincoln navigator, but defiantly not a Hyundai tucson or such, which in reality is just a different shaped hatchback that appeals to buyers right now.
