To all of you who argue vigorously whether or not to have the X Trail instead of the CR V or the Sorento I would like to suggest you consider the Hyundai Santa fe which hardly ever gets a mention here. Please feel free to ignore the findings in the What Car test as I have just covered over 2,000 miles (south of France and back)in our new CRDT Santa Fe, pulling a fully laden Abbey Cardinal 495 (MTPL 1460 kgs). The car was superb. Plenty of oomph, 28 mpg and never had a problem lane changing. I am a police trained driver including the blues and twos stuff so have some experience regarding handling, performance etc. However, it's biggest plus for me is that of all the cars I've ever driven it has far and away the most cofortable drivers seat I've had the pleasure to have sat in. For someone who suffers back problems it's positively theraputic.
