Friend of mine is thinking of buying a crossover. Current favourites are the Hyundai ix35 and the Kia Sportage. Anyone got one, had one or any experience of one? Also any better alternatives?

Had a 1.7 diesel iX35 as a hire car last year, did really good MPG on the motorway, had lots of toys and was surprisingly nice to drive about in given it was snowing
I was disgusted with myself for not hating it to be honest

I bought a KIA C'eed about a year ago. really impressed with the car but their servicing costs a fortune.. nearly £340 for a basic service and MOT.. from the dealer in Basingstoke..
but the 7 year warranty is a real plus point

That sounds a bit of a rip-off?
I know on the Hyundais (I work in a main dealer which is also Ford repairer), the 2nd service is a bit pricey (£250ish) as includes brake fluid change, plugs (on petrol models) and all filters. But most other regular 'basic' services are on a menu pricing and around £150.
As all cars they have their faults but the warranty is quite good and fair (much easier to claim for) than Ford for example. Parts for them are expensive, and sometimes a job to get hold of being on back order.
