Next in line Volkswagen Tiguan 240hp diesel, liked inside and outside, booked test drive next Tuesday at 1500hrs.
Next was a bit of an after thought, Skoda Kodiaq, looked in the showroom at a fairly low 5 seat spec and was very impressed, seats felt comfortable and unbelievable roomy .
Got talking to sales guy and he said they had got a top spec 190hp with all the extras thrown in demo, so have booked a test drive with it on Tuesday @ 1200hrs.
So just to recap XC60 @ 1000, Skoda @ 1200, and the Volkswagen @ 1500.

Went through pretty much the same list. Kodiaq was a close second to the old XC60 (as no FWD on new one yet). Lots of space, nice fast tech and lots of kit for the money - ACC is only a £300 add on! Nice shape in the flesh too. Drives well but thought the DSG dulled the 190tdi's surge slightly - maybe a VRS soon with the 240 tdi. Simpsons have some for immediate delivery inc a 190 SEL with some nice extras. We went for another old XC on the 2 year lease to allow things to clear up - the 7 seat Kodiaq boot, though huge, isn't tall enough but dropping it to 5 seats currently means no spare wheel due to the variable floor or something. The smaller Karoq coming out has the same boot as a Tiguan.
