My husband bought possibly the ugliest car on the road - a Jeep Patriot. From October to February he drives a regular round trip of 150 miles each Saturday and may possibly experience a little snow now and then. The rest of the year it does little except take up a large amount of space where we live in London. Please can you suggest something with a touch more feminine appeal but keeping the high drive position and 4WD, or at least 4WD when needed, as well as room for three passengers and a dog or two, plus boots, coats etc. We do not, despite what he thinks, need a car the size of a tractor but just a medium-sized vehicle that I can drive around our quite narrow roads without frightening pedestrians or scraping parked cars. The Jeep must go, but the budget for its replacement can only unfortunately be about £12- £15,000 including trading in the horror.
