We have a 2006 Discovery with 80k on the clock and have been offered £12,500 as a trade in against a year old KIA Sorento KX2 with 11k on the clock.

I am attracted by the Kia 7 year warranty and 42mpg We want to avoid hefty repair bills. we were on the point of buying this when we saw that cars like the Volvo XC60 and BMW X3 depending on model can give about 50mpg.

We will be keeping the car for 5 years anyway and I wonder if a Volvo or BMW might be a better buy with better residuals at the end of 5 years although the KIA will still have a 2 year warranty left.

We like the 7 seat seat option with the KIA as we have two kids but could live without that. The Kia dealer is also offering 3 years servicing for £360. A 5 star euroncap is key to us.

Would you buy the Kia or would the other cars with maybe a better value at end of year 5 attract you? Or is there another car to consider?

We were offered the same trade in on a high spec Captiva but didn't like the gearbox.
