Buying a comfortable SUV - what's best used?

I have arthritis and want a comfortable, automatic car with a high driving seat. I have up to £14,000 to spend. What would you recommend?

A used Toyota RAV-4 2.0i Valvmatic Multidrive S would be my recommendation. It's large and comfortable, so should be perfect for your needs.

Bigger and now 5-door only. More luxurious but not as practical as previous RAV-4. Car-like road manners. Petrol and diesel automatics. Facelifted 2010.
