Had my beautiful black S2000 GT for over 5 years now, - due to the type of driving I do these days, I am after something economical with an elevated driving position. Budget 6 - 10k.

Top of my list at the moment is a 4 door RAV4 diesel, - reasonable mpg, - reasonably high up

Considered the Nissan Juke, but not sure about the looks tbh, i do like it, but maybe a bit feminine

CRV looks a little TOO big

What am I missing, - any decent suggestions would be much appreciated!

Quite a wide criteria hehe

I'd probably be looking at the BMW X3 or VW Tiguan

Nissan Qashqai
Hyundai Tucson

Neither as good as the Tiguan or X3 but if you want something cheap with a high seating position they'll do the job.

Kia Sportage, I've taken a few in px and found them pretty decent.

didnt realise the x3 was in my price range.... - so the Tiguan and X3 are considered the best - why is that?

presumably the X3 has run flats as the reviews say the ride is pretty poor.
