To be fair, the compact/subcompact SUV craze we see here is Europe is a bit of a design fad too - most of these have no significant advantage over the equivalent compact hatchback, and cost more to buy and run.

If people wanted utility, they'd either be in hatches or LAVs (dokker, verso, and all the panel-van derivates: kangoo, partner etc)

(I went halfway and got a yeti - awesome vehicle)

I was reading your comment and thinking - "My Yeti has lots of advantages over a hatchback" - then I saw your last line ;-)

Just got a new one, bit gutted that they are phasing them out - the I was so attached to the last one that I was actually quite sad when I traded it in, which was a first for me!

Same here - I can't believe they're replacing it with a bland Ateca clone...

Indeed it's a bit of a compromise between the sensible Roomster and the pretty but useless SUVs
