Anyway.... I want my next car to be a crossover suv type... hybrid would be brill but not tied...

Suggestions?

I really like the look of the toyota C-HR it's like a civic fk8 type R on steroids, plus you'll get Toyota reliability as standard.

I looked at the C-HR and I like it... I was looking at other suggestions.... I think if it’s affordable I was looking at the Tesla model Y, I shall see...

"I was looking at the Tesla model Y, I shall see..."

I'll never get a Tesla cos I don't like Elon Musk...

If you're looking for all electric, then the Nissan Leaf (current model is bigger) is probably a good replacement for a Prius?

My car sharer has the current Nissan Leaf and it's comfortable and powerful. He has solar panels on his roof so very sustainable...

This made me laugh. Count Dankula has done a video on YouTube about the Toyota Wars

I’ve got an L200. It’s a tank.

I think the funnies statistic is that 25% of accidents are caused by d*unk drivers ...... now I’m no mathematician it that means if 75% are caused by sober people then you are safer behind the wheel pissed .... as long as one of those sober idiots doesn’t crash into you (probably a .....)

The red car and the blue car had a race, all red could do was stuff its face, it eats everthing it sees from trucks to prickly trees but smart old blue it took the Milky Way. I'd say blue if you want economy or red if you want raw power......

"Mitsubishi outlander phev I really rate these worked on a few, and Ford kuga phev is OK now they've worked out some of the issues "

The outlander is good, has the four wheel drive we need, curs system takes a little getting used to, inexpensive to drive.

However, I had a HSE Land Rover and miss the clutch and to be honest, the noise.
