I don’t know what I want!

So my budget is 35k and below.
Im the type who really enjoys driving and I want it to feel luxurious.

I enjoy lots of fun techie stuff.

I do lots of long distance driving.

I have 2 kids in car seats and a pram.

I have a 6ft very long legged husband.

I currently drive an Audi A4. Very ancient one and it’s dying. I love the look of a Mercedes but very mixed reviews on if they’re worth the money.

I can’t decide if I want something high up or low down?!

Completely clueless please help!

Ooh go high!. Mercedes has all the bells and whistles, I had an A class , well 2 actually, but the 2nd one just wasnt all it was cracked upto be, its put me off them to be honest. What about BMW x3 ?

Toyota Rav 4 - a joy to drive and own

We've got a Jeep compass and really like it. Lots of gadgets and safety features, very comfortable to drive and looks nice. Good leg room all round and a very good sized boot. OH particularly enjoys the Beats speakers!

Audi Q5 . Love mine

Ford Kuga. Best car I've ever owned. Fills all your criteria.

Volvo XC40 sounds as if it ticks your boxes.

I’ve just got a Peugeot 2008 gt in selenium grey and I’m obsessed! It looks like a Range Rover evoke but half the price and cheaper to run!

skoda karoq edition (pre 2020) comes with all the lux features. Post 2020 you have to add all the luxuries separately. brilliant car. massive boot - best in class for that. Great gadgets.

My husband has just got a new top range ford Kuga and loves it

Kowaii · 10/08/2023 20:32

I’ve really never liked driving fords but I might give one a test drive! I really like the bmw x4m. Best of both worlds in that it’s coupe shaped but high up like an suv.

We have a Peugeot 5008 which I think ticks all your boxes and at 35k you could get nearly new with bells and whistles. Think mine was 30k last year and it's 2 years old with a panoramic sunroof, massage seat, internal lighting you can change, voice activation, etc etc etc...

Also you can get three car seats across the back (the real reason I bought it) and the boot has two spare seats but it doesn't look like a 7 seater.

I used to have an R line Tiguan and I'd really recommend that. It was 40k in 2015 new I think but with top of the range engine and IT PARKED ITSELF. So imagine also in budget. It was super zippy (left a friend with a brand new Range Rover Vogue in my dust up a steep hill!) . A joy to drive. I miss it but the 5008 is so roomy and really practical with the kids.
