    Best trade in for a Territory TX?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 13 October 2016

    I am reluctant to recommend any European car, particularly those from VW, because of the problems that have soured the ownership experience for so many people. Rather than those you name I would be looking at the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V or Suzuki Vitara.

    How does Suzuki Vitara compare to rivals?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 4 September 2016

    The new Suzuki is pretty good, apart from the constantly variable transmission, and gets The Tick. But you should also test drive the Mazda CX-3, which tops the class, or the Honda HR-V if you need more space in the back.

    Are autos or manuals best for being flat towed?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 26 August 2016

    I've done some checking and no one recommends flat towing with an automatic. You really need to totally disconnect the drive system, which means a manual. Many people choose a Suzuki Vitara as it is light and relatively cheap secondhand and also has maximum flexibility when you get to your destination.

    Benefits of a 1.4 litre turbo?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 5 July 2016

    A 1.4-litre turbo will give the power of a 2.0-litre engine on demand, but the fuel economy of a 1.4 when taking things easy. So it's the best of both worlds, and goes right through to new turbo engines in Porsches and Ferraris. The badge on the back is typical of car companies, who like to tell all about things.

    Good mid-size SUV?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 22 March 2016

    You left out my choice, which is the Kia Sportage.

    Vitara arrival date keeps changing
    Answered by Graham Smith · 25 February 2016

    I doubt that you have any grounds for getting your deposit back, it would seem from what you say that Suzuki has not broken the contract you have signed. It's best to check the delivery timing before you sign the contract and if timing is critical for you to put that in writing as part of the contract. That way if they don't meet the timing you have a legitimate beef. The only thing you could do now is to try to negotiate a way out.
