    Subaru XV 2015: Slow to accelerate
    Answered by Paul Gover · 22 May 2016

    The XV is underpowered, as well as having a very dozy CVT. If you are that worried I would definitely suggest a brand swap to something with a regular automatic.

    The Freelander is well past its use-by date and both the CX-3 and XV could be too small in the back for his needs. He should try to stretch to a Mazda CX-5, which is still best in class.

    Subaru XV 2015: How does it stack up?
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 3 May 2015

    The reputation of the XV is great but, for me, it's too small in the boot and the CVT auto takes the edge off the performance.

    Best small SUV?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 13 April 2015

    I have just driven the CX-3, Honda HR-V and Renault Captur and rate the Mazda as clearly best of the bunch, as well as better than the XV. It gets The Tick but be careful that you don’t spend too much — there are 14 models in the line-up.

    Subaru XV rivals?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 5 April 2015

    Our earlier comparisons are out of date with the arrival of new XV opponents including the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V and Renault Captur. The XV is now trailing those three, at least.

    Good car for an older person?
    Answered by Paul Gover · 8 March 2015

    I'd suggest you wait, just a little, and investigate the new breed of compact SUVs. Right now you can choose from the Subaru XV and Renault Captur, which I give The Tick, but soon enough there will also be a Mazda CX-3 that looks like the pick of the litter.
