Tough, because high entry and -if we are in a very crazy mood – also some additional ongespoten plastic around the wielkastranden.
Currently driving the oldsters of Erik-Jan in a Seat Altea XL 2.0 TDI. A great car to a caravan over the Alps to drag, but given the annual mileage of around 17,000 km and pretty expensive car by the high road tax. Now the Seat what ailments begins to show, it is therefore time to look for a successor. Preferably according to the same exciting recipe.
Current /previous car sSeat Altea XL 2.0 TDI
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / privéPrivé
Budget: $ 14,000
Annual mileage:approx. 17,000 km
Brandstofvoorkeur:Gasoline
Reason to purchase another car:Current obsolete and lower of cost
Composition:Two retirees + dog + with some regularity two grandchildren
Preferred brands /models:Qashqai, Tiguan, 3008
No-go models / brands:Skoda
On the shortlist are, among others, the Peugeot 3008, Nissan Qashqai and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Peugeot I can with decency only recommend it to people with a visual disability, so that you will be in the following list, then also not find. Skoda is a no-go and that is a shame, because not only rationally speaking, the Yeti is an excellent choice (there may even be a helicopter on countries, very useful!), also is it a fresh appearance in this yet, what suffige segment. The other much fresher appearance, the Mini Countryman, it may, depending on the version, nothing or very little pull. Bummer.
For the grandchildren: Honda CR-V 2.0 I-VTEC
Since there are occasional grandchildren in the back seat to take a seat, it is for the autoliefhebbertjes in this, of course, fun as they are to their friends to be able to tell that their grandpa and grandma is a real VTEC. That the to the more efficiency-tuned I-VTEC goes is fun for grandma and grandpa themselves. A great car, thanks to its slightly higher cost is no verkooptopper and therefore there must be something better to be sought.
Safe choice: Nissan Qashqai
What we have here still to tell? Went and are going like hot cakes over the counter and that is not even unjustified, it is a great car. Go for the tweeliter if your caravan a bit comfortable by the Tuscan hills wants to attract. Ensure that you are not exactly the same color as your neighbors, otherwise, the street is so boring.
Almost as safe: Hyundai iX35
For those who at parties like brags about leather upholstery opposite Qasqai-riders for the same amount of money on fabric. Just as the Qashqai a rational but defensible choice. Oh, and if you have the logo upside-down looks, there’s Sex! So.
Korean with a twist: Opel Antara
What the Koleos is, for Renault, it is the Antara, for Opel. Actually a Korean SUV that a European sauce. Where that sauce at Renault is going to clotting, there tastes this Antara is still pretty good. As new car already not popular, but if second hand is also not very popular and that means you quite a lot car for your money. The 2.4 petrol is fine, although not very economical, the viertraps vending machine a bit dated.
#YOLO: Porsche Cayenne
You want your automotive career a little bit in style to quit, so why not Hobby Tabbert behind a Porsche Cayenne hooks and with 150 km/h on the Route du Soleil overstrain? Choose for a 3.2 with automatic transmission, and relatively low mileage, and go secretly to the VW instead of Porsche dealer in order not on maintenance to be drained.
