We have recently retired, aged 62 and 55. We intend to dispose of our eight-year-old Jaguar S-Type (62,000 miles, average condition) and Ford Focus Ghia 2-litre (34,000 miles, good condition) and replace them with an economical 4x4 as well as a smaller runaround for short distances. My height, at six-foot four-inches, causes problems. For the 4x4 I had been thinking of a Freelander 2, but I am open to ideas. I have no idea of a runaround. I tried a Polo 1.2-litre and couldn’t get into the driver’s seat. We can afford a total of £35,000 plus the disposal of our existing cars. We will be happy with either new or used.
