As a previous owner of a manual 1998 Suzuki Vitara (two door), I was thrilled when the Duster was announced. The Bigster seems like a safer (and less adventurous) alternative to the Duster.

I find the difference between the two very minimal.
And for almost €20k more 💶 I would absolutely not choose the Tiguan.
