Many thanks for all your replies. Gweiloman, good to get a reply from someone who owns an H6, I might well be in touch if I have any specific questions to ask.

Thanks KhunLA, I appreciate your reaponse. Yes I do want a bit of performance, but I also want something a little further from the ground, makes getting out a little easier, I'm over 70, but only in body! I do like the look of the MG's and was tempted, but I'm afraid their reputation has rather put me off. Full electric is not on the radar as we sometimes like to make quite long trips. Whilst I agree charging stations are growing in number, quite long waits to recharge, to me, is a negative. Thanks for your input.

Hi all, I currently drive a Camry, very happy with it, but the time for change is coming! Having read the comments regarding buying an SUV, I am convinced this is the way for me to go. I like Toyota, Honda, and Mazda, but I do not want to shell out for a new vehicle (not cheap Charlie, but prudent I hope). Many of the above vehicles look promising, however, even as an ageing driver, I like power when I want to overtake. Therefore, anything less than an 1.8 normally aspirated, or 1.5 with a Turbo would not really suit my requirements. I am open to considering a Chinese vehicle, the one I keep coming back to is the Haval H6, so, does anyone have first-hand experience of owning and driving one? Dealer availability, reliability and anything that might be of interest to anyone who might be thinking along similar lines. Many thanks. Planemad

Worgeordie - Best advice I have seen on this thread. However, please don't use the plastic diver and sunken wreck in your tank!
