    Eliminating one car per round is the wrong way to do it since maybe one of the the already eliminated cars could be the best in the next round. Awarding points is better.

      Absolutely. Keep them _ALL_ in the test and mark them from 1st to last place for each test and then tally up the points at the end.

    If you’re taking a road trip, rear window visibility is unnecessary. You always deflate inflatables and bring a pump. And stand the luggage upright…no need for the privacy shade. That’s the real world!

    That is not how a test should be done, the Audi and Volvo both weren’t shutting their boots automatically as it detected luggage in the way, so forcing it shut is not a proper way to do it and it would put strain on mechanisms and you have probably scratched the plastics too. The BMW is the only one which took the luggages with ease plus that split folding tailgate makes it better. I would definitely have the BMW over any of those. Audi and Volvo doesn’t do it for me.

      My wife has a 5 year old X5 40d and I have a 5 year old 530d Xdrive Touring.
      Mine accelerates quicker, stops quicker, corners better, drives nicer, does better mpg, cheaper on tyres & brakes, cheaper to insure and tax, and has almost the same real world sized boot.
      I didn't understand SUVs either, until it flooded where we live. That's my wife's argument.
      My argument is don't leave home for 5 days of the year and have a better car for the other 360.

    Silly and illogical way of eliminating the cars. Should be a points system. No prospective buyer is going to reject a car just because it doesn't hold an extra suitcase. By the way, the very expensive Volvo just looks ugly and plain compared to the others and should be rejected on that criterion alone!
