    Which Car

    After my car failed miserably in the snow today I want to think about a new car, ideally 4x4 but I also don't want a SUV type vehicle, which basically leaves me the A6 Allroad or the fugly cross over types like the Volvo XC range, are there any other alternatives?

    Mini countryman

    Skoda Yeti holds its value very well.

        BMW X1. Mrs P has one and it's great. It's pretty much a 3 series estate but a bit shorter and a tiny it higher.

        X-drive ones are 4WD but without the feeling of driving a tractor.

          Coming the conclusion that its easier to own a normal car and stay in when it snows...

            Toyota RAV-4. Not really a full on SUV - I've got the 2.2 diesel & get 40 mpg out of it on average.

            Had mine 5 years now and don't have any complaints. Seems to do most of what a 4x4 is supposed to do like driving through 6 inches of snow to get to work as I did this morning only to find that the office was closed for the day

                Lamborghini Gallardo.

                4x4 doesn't look like an SUV.

                    Get rid of it before:
                    a) the cambelt / water pump needs changing
                    b) the flywheel / clutch goes
