[senator6]

Hi,

I am new to this site and found the info very helpfull, I'm just not sure which one to go for. Going to test drive the santa fe tomorrow, then arrange a test drive of the 2010 crv. Just like other peoples input on what they think.

if possible have the test drives all in the same day, going fresh from one drive to another, i found helped in the comparison.

i test drove a CRV, Xtrail, and the Forester, all on the same day. The forester had the best engine, but the xtrail the best package, (for MY needs), the CRV which i had high hopes for was a disappointment engine wise, being no better than my old xtrail

However, that was the 138bp diesel, the latest model now as 148bhp. I had my test drive a year last jan.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your advice, I had a good test drive of the santa fe and was very impresed. The handling and the ride was very good, as you put your foot down you felt the power of the car and There was hardly any roll. I did test drive the old crv last year and was not impresed,I cant get a test drive the new crv until next week, but with the

The Santa Fe's 5 year warranty tells you something. Good choice mate.

Dustdog,

Well we have placed an order for the santa fe, gone for the 7 seater premium with the self levelling suspension. So looking foward to getting it, looking foward to towing with it.

craig, i have a 57 plate santa fe cdx 7 auto. great tow car and very reliable. it tows our bailey senator 2008 wyoming no probs. if your going up a steep hill just push it over to the tiptronic box and drive it manually. mine also has the self lev and it does make a difference but i still check my tow ball weight before i leave the storage.

what colour did you go for and was it manual or auto?. mine silver with the privacy windows and leather etc.

Hi all have been following this post and have been thinking of changing my Toyota Avensis to something more up to the job of towing my series 6 Bertagne. have been looking at various cars but am now going to test drive a Santa Fe 7,seat premium manual do they all have self levelling suspension? the dealer tell me it will be May before he has the cars ordered due in with him. He has black and white coming both in auto and manual quite fancy the white has anyone seen a new one in white? and what do they think? its all personal choicen i know but would be interested to hear your views i know there is
