I live in a remote location in Devon on a tidal river road. About 20 or 30 times a year our only exit, until the tide goes out, is on a track through three fields. Devon roads round here are steep and narrow and ideally I’d like a small 4x4 so I can still go out in the snow. I’d like a car with high ground clearance too. There are only the two of us, both pensioners. My husband has memory problems and can’t drive. I thought the Fiat Panda 4x4 was ideal, except it is too small for our two dogs and I sometimes have to take large bags of garden rubbish to the tip. Apart from the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Yeti do you have any suggestions? I have about £20,000 available and I drive no more than 10,000 miles a year. Doing such a low mileage should I go for petrol, in which case ruling out the Yeti?
