Good Day, I am struggling with deciding which car to get. I have a budget of R600K

I am 28 years of age and have plans to start a family in 2 years' time. I like cars and going on road trips so I would like something that's an all-rounder with power and technology. I was looking at the 1.4t and 2.0T T-Roc I am not sure if you notice the difference in power. I saw in one of your reviews you were not impressed with the finishes in the T-roc so I wanted to know should I write it off based on the interior quality. I was also wondering from a safety point of view if the car is safe from hijacking. In terms of other cars, I was also looking at the 1.6T Kona and the 1.4T Seltos but I was wondering about the size of the car and the fact that it doesn't have all-around parking sensors is a problem. I would prefer a second-hand car so that I don't have to take the initial depreciation hit. Could you please assist me with a car that has the following:
1. All round parking sensors
2. Rearview camera
3. Good engine(110KW at least)
4. Automatic(duel clutch preferably)
5. Good Boot size.
6. Low maintenance.
7. Plan to keep it for 5 to 6 years doing 20 000 kilometers a year.

Thank you in advance

Hi there

We indeed take some issue with the quality of the T-Roc's interior fittings, which aren't up to the usual Volkswagen standards. A very nice-looking car, though, and good to drive as well. It is pricey for what you get (and you really want the 2.0T, because the 1.4T is a bit sluggish), however, and it's not the most practical car for the money either.

However, we'd tentatively point you back towards the Kia Seltos. It has all the features you list, with the exception of front parking sensors. However, the dealership can add it as a workshop-fitted accessory - it will be from the aftermarket, but it is a viable way of addressing this model's only shortcoming (according to your list). Doing so will get you one of the nicest and safest compact SUVs out there, with good performance, decent all-road abilities, a big boot, and an excellent warranty and service plan.

Hope this helps!
