Is it wise to change my Toyota RAV4 for a Suzuki Vitara?

I'm thinking of changing my 2010 Toyota RAV4 multidrive for a Suzuki Vitara 1.4 petrol automatic, is this a wise move? Also will I be able to claim back the vat on a new model as a registered disabled wheelchair user?

The new Vitara S 1.4 T BoosterJet is proving to be very good indeed. Another possibility, slightly cheaper, is a Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 110 EAT6 auto. This explains the tax and VAT situation: www.gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vat-relief/
