What small crossover would you recommend?
I'm considering buying a small SUV and have narrowed it down to three options, all petrol automatics: Peugeot 2008, Mazda CX3 or Suzuki Vitara. Which would you recommend? Or am I missing an obvious alternative?

The Peugeot 2008 is about to be replaced so, if you're buying new, it might be worth waiting for the new model. Alternatively, I'd want a good deal on the outgoing car. Out of your shortlist, my money would probably go on the Vitara. It's a reliable little SUV that represents excellent value for money. I'd also consider alternatives from Volkswagen Group such as the Skoda Kamiq and SEAT Arona.
