Best car for 25k

[stedaley]

Having just sold a few cars I now have someone looking for a 25k car to enjoy.

Would be used often, but not everyday.

25mpg+ average

Any engine size

Any size car

Live rurally so something to enjoy the b roads / road trips to Europe.

Any age,

Have had large powerful barge cars and 3.5L v6 estates most recently so after something more sporty.

Could fit at least 1 dog in the boot/rear seats.

They have a Tesla that’s used for daily duties.

Preferably not BMW - Lexus V8 have been mentioned and GR Yaris. Any other options?

Thanks

Dacia Duster ticks most of that.
