Looking for a family car with 4x4 capability
We currently own a Toyota RAV4 and Audi A4. We need to sell both and get a family sized car, which has occasional 4x4 ability (prefer two-wheel drive which switches to 4x4 if needed).
We'd like a diesel for better fuel economy and need plenty of space to fit surf boards, dogs, rucksacks and four adults. What do you suggest with a budget of £10,000?

A 2006-2009 Honda CR-V 2.2iCTDI. No DPF to worry about. Part-time AWD, just like your RAV-4. 40+ mpg.

Roomy and versatile. Very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing to drive. not at all cumbersome. 2.2 i-CTDI diesel is excellent.
