My 23-year-old son needs to replace his 2001 Holden Astra City 1.8 manual, which was his learn-to-drive car and has done 175,000km. We are thinking of a used compact SUV such as Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V or possibly a Ford Escape. What would be your top two picks of these?

You will get great value and a classy car in the Suzuki Grand Vitara. The CR-V also goes well and is slightly better value than a RAV4.
