Can you recommend a comfortable small SUV?

I want to buy a used hatchback or small SUV with the emphasis on comfort but with adequate performance. The biggest item I normally carry is a bicycle - my SEAT Leon FR is OK for size but the ride is anything but soft!

The Skoda Kamiq looks promising but appears quite large.

I want a manual box and 115 to 150 horsepower [petrol] with a budget of about £17,500.

A Skoda Kamiq is a good option but will actually be smaller than your Leon in many ways. The bigger Skoda Karoq could be a good alternative. Look for one with small alloy wheels (and chunky tyres) for a soft ride. Also consider a Citroen C3 Aircross – it's a practical little SUV with a focus on comfort. Alternatively, a Honda Jazz is a versatile hatchback that'd be a great bike carrier.
