Buying a crossover for winter
Want to find a 4x4 look alike with high driving position for my wife and then fit winter tyres in winter. Ideally front wheel drive auto. What would you recommend please?
Currently she has a Hyundai Tucson which has been a good workhorse in bad weather but is a poor drive.
