Volvo XC60, Honda CRV, BMW X3? All diesel. Which would you recommend for two 64year olds, both tall?

The Volvo XC60 is very nice. And you can get a diesel auto. But I'd go for an Audi Q5 2.0TDI manual. (You can also get a 3.0TDI auto.) If you want to spend less money, then obviously a CRV 2.2iCDTI. It's very comfortable. All these are tested at www.honestjohn.co.uk (XC60 and Q5 video tested). No test of the X3.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
