Replacement for a Hyundai ix20

I wish to replace my Hyundai petrol 1.4 ix20 Style with something similar Are the Ford B-MAX or Vauxhall Meriva any better or is there any other MPV/crossover/SUV I should consider?

The B-MAX is great but has had manual clutch problems and Powershift problems. The Meriva 1.4T is the Meriva to go for with a bit of power: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/vauxhall/vauxhall-.../ The Kia Venga is almost exactly the same as the ix20. You could also consider Honda's new HR-V: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-hr-v-2.../ Honda's new Jazz: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-jazz-2.../ and the new Suzuki Vitara: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-vita.../ Check out any car for developing fault at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
