Asked by Elise
Our family is looking for a smaller SUV to get us through 2-3 years. I was originally looking at the Mazda CX-5, but we need something a bit cheaper to use everyday around town.
I like the look of the Kia Sportage and know it compares with the CX-5 and also has good re-sale value. How does a 2011 Sportage compare to a Nissan Dualis 2010-2012? Which would be better for around town and everyday use? In 2-3 years when we are looking to upgrade, which is going to sell better? As there are new models out for both of those cars now. Any advice would be appreciated.

9 Sep 2016Both are well suited to everyday use around town. They're comfortable, fuel-efficient and safe. The Dualis is a little cheaper than the Sportage, but I would definitely go for the Sportage. I would expect them to have a similar resale value when it comes time to sell, but the reputation of the Sportage for quality and reliability would make it easier to move on.
