can anyone recommend a compact SUV?

Well its all done. Today i went out and had a look at a couple before doing a deal with a private seller.

I ended up buying a 2008 Outlander VR with 30,000kms. Its the V6 model tow bar and roof rack cross bars included and has new car warranty for another 3 years. I got it for $23,500 and the guy threw in the baby seat also .

Towing capacity is 1600kgs braked so i will head everyones warnings and just pay for a tow truck when i actually need to move the cobra around. The V6 should be good to have though for other towing applications and driving on the highway.

Coming home i saw a late 90s forester towing a car trailer with an old toyota hilux on the back. Now thats scary! It was one of those Hilux's that they lower and put chrome wheels on to pretend its like a chevy pickup.

Thanks for the input everyone. Thanks OZCOBRA for the Outlander tip. So far i am impressed with the features and the way it drives.

A few weeks ago a local p-nut Trailered an XC falcon behind a Toyota Hi-ace van... both vehicles ended up on their roof. His reason for putting such a large load behind a breadbox. The XC was out of rego so he was taking it to the RTA for a rego inspection. ???. Saw him last week in the bent van pulling the same car trailer. I pulled over and let a few vehicles get between him and me.
Makes you wonder what these people think.
