Knowledgable/opinionated folk of Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc. I need your advice. We're going to need a new car this year. New meaning not 'brand new' but 'new to us'. Budget >£7,500.
We're in the sticks (or frequently get from A to B via country roads). Occasional ford to cross plus flooded roads when it's wet (though these are usually closed off pretty quick and diverted). Got a dog so would like to fit a crate in and not have it take up all the boot space.
I like the idea of 4x4/AWD. I like the idea of estate/tourer. Not wedded to either idea though. Would be great if it didn't ruin us to run/maintain. What would you suggest?
