A listener called in and asked about buying an SUV.

The reason was that he and his partner had two dogs, went camping a bit, also they were surfers so they carried their boards.

They have a small SUV - a Subaru XV.

But they need something bigger not the least because they are going to have their first child.

They need more room in the back for the dogs and a pram.

Of course, if you know me, I tried to suggest a station wagon but that didn't gain much traction.

They are hovering around a Kia Sportage.

Are there in the right ball park?

Paul Murrell from practical motoring.com.au have tried most vehicles so what does he think? He joins us on the line.
