Alt to X-Trail - David H
Just about to take delivery of an X-Trail, colleague would like to buy similar type of SUV, but wants diesel plus auto (this combination not available in X-Trail, Rav4 CRV etc). Any ideas on the best way out?

I believe the Kia Sorento (with just one 1 \"r\") is available as a diesel auto at prices not dissimilar to the X Trail.

Thanks KB, HJ says "too soon..." in the year book, apart from perhaps badge snobbery do they have any drawbacks? Does anybody have any idea of performance or MPG?

David, Type Kia Sorento into Google and you get 380 entries, including a number of reviews. Also try these sites.........

Also, I saw in a current copy of "WHAT MPV & OFF ROADER" a most favourable review - it did very well up against a new Jeep.
