I've been thinking the XV would be a good car for my partner to replace her aging Impreza.
She insists on a manual gear box (South Dunedin girl) reckon they'd be any better?
Her predilection for manuals makes finding cars a more time consuming process.
I'd recommend a Lada Niva over a Subaru XV.
If you want manual then go european. I seriously rate the Octavia Scout.
