I am looking for a 4x4 under £5k which is generally reliable, 5 doors and STYLISH. It has to be good on road as well as off but I'm no green laner !.. and I only do about 5,000 miles a year max.

I have a local mechanic who has looked after my cars for over 10 years so no dealer prices for repairs etc..

Having a look through forums I think I have made a final list ( although I'm sure people will disagree )

Subaru Outback 2.5 SE
Volvo XC90 2.4 TD D5
Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRTD
Mercedes-Benz M Class 2.7 ML270 CDI
Mitsubishi Outalnder 2.0D or 2.4Sport

Any comments or OTHER suggestions

Well..I like the size of a 4x4 (Hatchback/Estate), like the handling in bad weather ( ...and yes I have had FWD cars with all weather tyres ), like the anidea of go anywhere if needed ( within reason )...and most importantly, I've had 4x4's in the past and just like them !

I will be using to visit customers occasionally so hence the need to look smart/stylish and although I'd be happy with the fantastic Hilux or Landcruiser, they're massive and look old which my wife would never drive !

cheers
