I live in a predominantly dusty, unpaved or pothole riddled driving environment. We would like to buy a new car that can best handle our rough road conditions. My budget is in the £22,000. I need enough boot space with folding seats to haul a variety of found objects I use in my artwork and would like the back seats to be high enough for my elderly parents to easily climb in and out. The Yeti caught my eye but I wonder if there is something out there a bit shorter as our streets are tight and parking scarce. It does snow here so I also wonder if I need a 4x4 or just a very strong suspension and high ground clearance. I prefer utility over style but want a full safety kit.
