Would you recommend an SUV for my commute?
The question
I am looking for a car and am considering the Hyundai ix35, Citroen C4 Aircross and Peugeot 4008. Which do you recommend? I travel 70km every day and I need a car that will not consume a lot of fuel.
Kindly advise.

Hi Bertha,
To be honest, 70km a day is not an especially large mileage and buying an SUV for that kind of journey is simply not going to be good from a fuel consumption point of view. Neither the Citroen C4 AirCross nor the Peugeot 4008 are sold in Ireland so they're off the list. As you've suggested a Hyundai though, can I suggest in return an i30 or i40 estate? Both will give you the space and practicality of an SUV but at a much lower level of purchase and running costs.
