Buying a new SUV - petrol or hybrid?
I am looking for a new car. I do 4000 miles a year and want an SUV that's comfortable with an automatic gearbox. So far I have narrowed my choices to the petrol Suzuki Vitara, Kia Niro hybrid and Toyota C-HR. What do you recommend?

If you like hybrids, then nothing wrong with the KIA Niro, but just go for a 2 spec. Don't waste money on the expensive one. I guess you want auto. Vitara Boosterjet is very good, but don't discount the Peugeot 2008 1.2 Puretech 110 EAT6, which I actually preferred to the Vitara. But you have to like a low steering wheel or you can't see the speedo.
