Buying a large 4x4 for £15,000
We live in a rural area and we are looking to buy a large 4x4 for use as a family car. I need a good sized boot for prams and luggage on holidays. I also will use it for work and long distance journeys to see family several times a year. My budget is £15,000. We think a Land Rover Discovery would be ideal but we have ruled that out do to high buying cost and running costs. What would you recommend as an alternative?

If you can get a post 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 R-Type manual or a post 2010 KIA Sorento 2.2 R-Type manual, that's the way to go. The KIA should still have at least 2 years warranty left.

Strong diesels including impressive 2.2-litre. Comes with seven seats. New six-speed automatic. More premium feel than previous Sorento. Great value for money.
