We change car about every five years, and the time has come, I'm afraid :-(

We've had Peugeot diesel estates for the past 15 years - a 405, a 406 and a 307SW - and we've been happy with them. We buy new or nearly new.

However, we live in the country, and last winter's big freeze was a major problem - we were practically immobilised for a month! So we reckon the time has come to get a 4X4. But we also do long distances on motorways (we have a holiday cottage in Scotland), so we don't want anything that's too thirsty. And we don't need anything big - a Honda CRV or a RAV4 are unnecessarily large. Even a Skoda Octavia 4X4 is longer than my wife would like.

Suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.
