It's not for OH, it's for me - I do the driving. There is a new Ford EcoSport just out which I think I would probably prefer. It is a lot more expensive, but it still comes in at a couple of thousand pounds under £20,000.

Re: Dacia Duster.

Hi Aeolor.
The Duster is totally different from your Golf. You are going from a small sedan to a small SUV. You'll be sitting a lot higher and the Duster will be higher from ground clearance and wider. One thing I found unusual from my driving experience is the electronic steering. It's feather light and feels nice to drive. It won't handle like a Golf but for it's size you can't expect it. The best way's to take one for a test drive.

That's the model we've ordered Judd. I think in the UK you only get two choices of motors (don't quote me). I know here there will be new motor options after 01.09. Again, don't quote me.

Nice car. I think Honda was one of the first to really get the compact SUV together with comfort. I used to drive a Toyota FJ45. It was a bit like driving a park bench.

Thanks Kev. The height is one thing that I am not sure about. Being only 5' tall I usually find it a bit awkward to climb in and jump out of my daughters car. She has a Tiguan, which I assume is a lot bigger than a Duster. I am going to try both the Duster and the new Ford and see how I get on.

I'm 5,7 and my wife is 5,8 and we only test drove the Duster but we both agreed it was comfortable to get in and out of.

Actually we test drove three of them.
