Which comfortable new SUV should I go for?

Hi.

I'm looking at getting an SUV for medical reasons. I drive country roads 90 per cent of the time so I need something comfortable and reliable. I'm looking at the Range Rover Evoque and Audi Q5. Which one would you recommend? I also need to take running costs and servicing costs into account. As well as road tax etc. Or is there another one I should consider? I did test drive the Volvo XC60 but found it very heavy.

Thanks.

Will I get a Mazda CX-3 or Mazda3 hatchback?

Thinking of purchase a new car. My heart (perhaps not my head) is tending towards a Mazda CX-3 or 3 hatchback. I have a budget of about €22k, as well as trade in of my 06 SEAT Leon. What's the best car for my money? Tend to be in car on my own as second car is MPV for family.

I'd like a new car that is really comfortable.

Hi,

I have just been reading Neil Briscoe's article (June 2016) about Citroen's new suspension system. I take it Neil wasn't too impressed. I have a 2003 Citroen C5 that is a fantastically comfortable car. It will have to be replaced sometime unfortunately. Because I have spine injuries I would need something that is the equivalent in terms of a smooth ride.

What do you think the chances are of finding same?

Thanks
