Best sporty small SUV?

I am used to driving a 270bhp (remapped etc.) BMW E83 auto and need a similar replacement that is not too large. I don't exceed 5,000 miles per annum, but don't mind having another diesel - no preference. Budget £20,000-ish. I am very tall and prefer raised seating position. Any recommendations please?

How about a BMW X2? It's a sporty small SUV with a relatively high seating position. We wouldn't recommend a diesel for 5k a year - if you can find one with the 2.0-litre petrol engine, it ought to feel quick enough. Alternatively, consider a SEAT Ateca. It's a family SUV available with a 190PS 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine and DSG automatic gearbox.

Probably the best handling car in its class. Lots of room for those in the back along with a large boot. Good value for money. Range of economical and swift engines.
