I am at a crossroads... My Mitsubishi Outlander is almost 3 years old and I am considering either replacing it with another (it's a diesel automatic) Or changing to another make. According to the matching service its a less than perfect match for my new Swift Conqueror which is 1430 kg MTPLM however I have just completed over 600 miles with little or no difference obvious from the Abbey at 1366 kg MTPLM. Being Solo I don't need a huge car although it must have space for 2 largish dogs in the back.
Today I popped into a Subaru dealership and looked at the Forester and the Outback no more Diesel engines in Subarus. The Forester appeals I think but the Outback looked hugely long although I need to check the size.
When buying the caravan I was told all was ok on a different matching service and that the Club one I used went on the car being empty which mine never is! I have been towing for more than50 years which helps but I noticed a distinct improvement to the towing experience when I swapped from a Skoda Octavia Scout to the Outlander. Interestingly the Octavia is a few inches longer than the Mitsubishi.
Anyway I would be grateful for any suggestions. Money isn't too much of an issue but I don't want or need to be too much more extravagant!
