Went test driving today. That was fun.
Started the search for my next car today and checked out the Alfa Romeos. Really loved the new Stelvio SUV. It drove like an absolute beast. Turbo, paddle shifters that were the quickest I've ever used. The steering in dynamic mode was super super tight and the shifts were unbelievably crisp etc. It's certainly near the top of my list now after trying it. You gotta go out and drive one of these. Very cool.
It doesn't drive like an SUV. Not at all. Soooo fun.

Ummm, that's not an SUV - at least not by my definition. No way the outdoor gear or dogs are being stored inside that with passengers.
Oh wait, the second pic is a different vehicle, right? The top one does look like it has "some" room for gear in the back but not a ton.

Re: Went test driving today. That was fun.
The F-Pace is a great package, but not that roomy inside as you might think.
I've not had a good look round the others, but the Volvo would get my vote too.
I guess another to look at could be the Maserati SUV, I forget the name, but I'm not sure if it's in the same price range.

Re: Went test driving today. That was fun.
Dude that Volvo is a beauty. The design is perhaps the most beautiful and clean interior I've ever seen. They even include nav in every level, have a huge tablet touchscreen to control everything etc.

The new Volvo products are beautiful. My friend just bought the big sedan. It is stunning and the interior is enormous.

BTW that Alfa SUV does 0-60 in like 5.4 seconds I believe. It's fantastic.

Re: Went test driving today. That was fun.
As much as I love to champion Alfa, as I ran a Fiat Turbo for 7ish years, I would go with the Volvo.
I loved my Fiat, but it was the '£300 car'.. every time there was a problem, which was often, it seemed to cost £300! Loved it to bits though - and would buy another !!!

Re: Went test driving today. That was fun.
I am getting the itch bad now........once we get back from vacation i need to get serious and get a new car. I really am drawn to the Alfa and the Volvo for different reasons. I still need to test drive the Volvo, Porsche and Jaguar though. At this point i think I'm down to these:
Re: Went test driving today. That was fun.
Crossovers. Not SUV. Traditionally, SUV vehicles were on a truck chassis where these are based on a unibody or car chasis...basicslly a lifted station wagon.

Ps, the audi q5 was redesigned this year. Could be worth a look.

Right, that's why I figured based on the examples above, station wagons with z-rated tires that get stuck in 1" of snow/mud you might as well get x5 or q7
