I have owned two Audis over the past 13 years, but now I've retired I drive fewer miles and need a higher seating position to ease entry and exit. I naturally favour a Q3 but the alternative choice of similarly sized vehicles and specifications is now quite daunting. I am also inclined to a petrol engine due to my reduced mileage (now about 10,000-11,000) and an automatic gearbox to make life easier. Additionally, I hope it would be a long-term purchase. I can run to about £18,000 plus my 2009 A4 Avant SE as a part-exchange. What do you recommend?
