The question has to be qualified with location both SUV’s are exceptional in my opinion, however, the one I would choose to drive in the UK may not be the one I’d like to drive in Nigeria. Let me explain.

1st choice the Merc. ML63 AMG, in my opinion this rides is insane, it nearly cost me my licence the acceleration is just mad and the ease at which it can double the speed limit just crazy. What strikes me is the way it does it, sticking to the corners and tarmac like GLUE. Bad points it drinks , drinks and drinks the juice possibly worse than a hummer H2.

The question is would I drive it in Nigeria, No Way, firstly, the suspension is too stiff, you will feel every bump, gallop, undulation in our sorry to say quite poor roads. The X5 and I’m talking the M sport, I have not driven but I guess the sports suspension and dampers will leave me feeling like I rode on the back of a 404 pickup.

My suspicion not deduction is that the Q7 with its air suspension set up could have the more compliant ride and therefore the greater comfort, which would suit my commute from Lagos to Warri – No Shakin !!! And therefore my No. 1 choice.

Finally, in my experience the SUV with the most luxurious, comfortable and compliant ride on our roads that I have personally tested is the Range Rover Vogue and please that does not include the Range Rover Sport . However, vanity wins sometimes and the Range to me is a bit of an Old man’s car a bit too conservative and of course I voted Labour.

Q7 Wins it 4 me, I wonder if I bought, one used it for 4wks would I be able to sell it in good time. When it comes to SUV’s we can have very parochial views, so not too many people in 9Ja may want the Q7.

Well yes, most of the time is an ideal approach to life, however,

When you have investment opportunities that offer a higher rate of return than the finance then the question becomes how much risk is involved

Or when your mortgage rate is higher than the offered finance rate, then finance may make sense, especially when buying a relatively expensive car where depreciation will be the highest cost.

Then to really throw the cat among the pigeons, leasing may actually work out a lot cheaper than buying outright, for example my sis (in the UK) brought a CLC 200 cdi Sport end of 2008 auto leather pano roof etc, is paying £220 a month for 3 yrs will probably work out much cheaper than buying and selling after 3 or 4 years.08067781491 alfredmartins639@yahoo.com
