Choice Three : Wait for the Vitara or the new Endeavour. The current endeavour sucks in ride quality / engine response and you will hate it.
As you can see i kept the laura as my last choice even though the cheaper elegance model is within my budget because of the horror stories i heard about skoda a/s/s.
Any news on the endeavour crdi launch date would be greatly appreciated, i dont think the vitara crdi would be launched within a month.

One more thing i forgot to mention is that a considerable distance would be driven on bad roads / mildly off road conditions where higher ground clearance would be a boon. So slightly more inclined to suvs.
