It's a nonsense to compare the price of a brand new and second hand car. A decent Kadjar (mine for example) is 24K euro. The cheapest petrol Kadjar is 18K euro. It used to be 16,5K before the new engine gamma. The cheapest petrol X40 is 46.5K euro. The one I would choose is more than 50K. All prices for brand new cars in my country. It's unthinkable to pay more than twice for a car, which offers the same and after less than 4 years will be replaced with the new model. Besides, all the car manufacturers are supplied by the same subcontractors ;)

i am going to try the hybrid route with Toyota 

toyota ch-r  i like and others all have good spec 

but if i go petrol  mazda hav cx 3 & 5 and the mazda 6 i have been looking at 

citroen have 2 good spec but they are french, again 


The chr is just too small, Prius 6 seater is good as is latest Auris estate, (sil and best mate work for the same company, they have to have toyota hybrids as company cars, maybe a million miles later no battery failures as yet).

Rav4 hybrid looks good but with a 2.5 petrol up front can't be too cheap to run.

I took my kadjar along with out clio to the dealership today, interesting, will post a topic about "2 year service and emissions" as a new topic to cover some other stuff.

We all have different offers in parent countries, and the same as regards issues. Too many volvo failures in our company fleet put me off them forever

Tried the Koleos (when I eventually found a demo), not enough advantage in boot space for me, plus it did feel heavier, ok, it is, but it felt somehow more agricultural.

The RAV4 has a very poor electric assist, nothing like as good as the smaller CH-R/auris or prius which share a similar and better proven system.
Cannot find anyone with a hybrid Grand scenic as a demo, would like to try that,

Just disappointed the dealer felt the "new Kadjar" was nothing more than a change of "embroidering the frock" so jury is still out and other stuff to try.
