Which seven-seat SUV to go for?
Hi. I drive a 161 Discovery Sport HSE 5 seater. I like a leather interior, automatic and nice trim. However, I'm finding landrover unreliable (having had this and a 3yr old evoque needing to be towed due to blocked filters). I now need a 7 seater as I have 3 small kids in car seats. Any recommendations for a secondhand 7 seater, reliable SUV? Thinking of a Skoda Kodiaq. Thanks.

Hi Catherine,
A Skoda Kodiaq is a good shout, but if you want a seven-seat SUV-like vehicle then also look at the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and Nissan X-Trail.
Also consider MPVs if seating is key. The newer Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (later called the Grand C4 Spacetourer) or the SEAT Alhambra would be excellent alternatives and should both prove reliable.
