Ford kuga is good value

the Honda CRV and Toyota Rav4 are a lot of money for a Jap motor

Audi is a nice all rounder, good name, good car, specification and price, is, manageable

You really should stop starting these car threads. I'm sure you know deep down that what you want is a new Passat. You know it makes sense.

I'm happy to keep repeating myself

If the engine isn't over the back you can chuck a couple of sacks of cement in the boot to help you gain traction in the snow.

I would go for the new Cayenne model which is coming out this year, has been lowered so looks more like the cross overs you mention, but probably still a fair bit larger.
