• Car peeps. I have a need for a larger, nicer car than our ageing Polo. My needs are: space for babies, kids and attendant stuff. Thinking compact SUV as opposed to estate as I now live in the country and bad roads and the occasional field are to be expected. Plus my wife wants a car to "jump down from". I like leather seats, DAB radios, sat-nav and low mileage. I'm guessing diesel is sensible. My budget is £20k. the Audi Q5 and the Volvo XC60 look good. Am I in the right ball park?

  • I thought I wanted an XC60 until I went in one, it's an 8 year old model now and really feels it. Ended up with a new Tiguan, because cheap lease.

    The Nissan X Trail was probably the best car, but I couldn't live with the rear lights.

  • Looked at some of the dual cab pickups?
