Firefly I wouldn't worry about it. Cars are ultimately down to personal preference and some people look for certain things in a car that are not all that important to others. For example Purple says that he doesn't think the Volvo S60 is a nice drive and much prefers the drive from a Mondeo whilst I find the S60 to be a lovely drive and definitely a step up in comfort, class and looks from the Mondeo. That said I would say that both are great cars, just that we have a difference in preference. FWIW I think the Skoda represents superb value (pun fully intended!

) and is a great car. I think most cars in this bracket are really good cars. The funny thing is though, despite the overwhelming number of posts in here advising the OP to buy saloon or hatchback over SUV, it looks like he's going with his original preference of SUV so again personal preference wins out over any argument on pros/cons of alternatives!
