Afternoon folks,

Looking for your thoughts on the above cars. I like a raised driving position and 4WD but don't want anything too big, bulky and heavy. The yeti gets great reviews and my preferred engine choice would probably be the 1.8 petrol motor as I only do around 10-11k a year. Unfortunately these are very rare so may have to settle for the 140PS diesel.

The XV doesn't get a great review in the press but I like the looks and the fact that it's a bit different from the norm. I've only seen two on the road. The XV also has full time 4WD rather than the haldex system most cars in this class use. The diesel engine is rated at 147PS and the car is actually slightly lighter than the Yeti according to official figures.

All the best.
