Comfort zone
I should be grateful for your advice in purchasing a new/nearly new car. I own a 3-door 54 plate RAV4 with 90,000 on the clock. My partner suffers with Osteo-arthritis with a particular problem at the base of her spine - Spondylolithesis. After about half an hour in my car she suffers discomfort. I would like your advice in suggesting a suitable replacement car that might help make her journeys more comfortable. I have a budget of £20,000 cash plus a trade-in. Four-wheel drive would be preferable.
