Audi Q5

fk me, 12k for a 14 year old Q5

But at least neither of those cars is likely to go wrong in a very expensive way and turn into <Scotty Kilmer>an endless money pit</Scotty Kilmer>

Q5's are reliable enough but I couldn't bring myself to buy a car from 'EZ Motors'....

Usual story with the Google reviews, lots of short five star reviews and several one star "Most terrible experience.. DO NOT BUY A CAR! " reviews. I think we can all guess exactly what this dealer is like and what the likely experience would be if something goes wrong with the car......

To be honest I don't look at the dealers or the history of the car when I link. It's just for a quick and rough example of what could be had and what they look like. Obviously do the usual diligence checks.

Yeah, I appreciate that, but it's not a representative example of what can be had from a reputable dealer, though.

IMO it's too much to be spending on that age & class of car anyway

A Lexus 450h is s pretty comfortable place to be, with low road noise, very quiet inside, reversing camera, and reliable.

Good suggestion. I was gonna say NX but even 2014 poverty spec are going for crazy money! I paid £23k for my top range premier spec back in 2018. Should be worth £15k tops now in a normal market, still going for over £20k.

Some flavour of Lexus is surely your answer...or even a well specced RAV4?

My money would be going on a late phase 1 XC90 in Exec trim - most comfortable seats I've ever had. Soft nappa, heated & ventilated with massage function

We’ve got a facelift XC60 D4 SE Lux. I would of preferred the r-design but the wife wasn’t sold on the look of the it.

We really wanted the winter pack as it had heated seats and the heated windscreen.

Been a great family car. Such a comfy drive. It took a lot of research for us; as we needed to fit a 10 year old and 2 child seats at the time, we are pleased with it. I can sit in the back; releatively comfy sandwiched between kids in their booster and high back car seats.

I often prefer taking the Volvo over my e91 335i. So comfy. Toying with getting a late first gen XC90 (as we are looking to get a 7 seater)

Wife is really pleased with the colour.

The 1st gen XC90 is a great car and, as I've said before, I have never sat in a more comfortable car seat but, as an all round package, the gen 2 is an order of magnitude better. If the budget will stretch, go for one of those.

From when we were at the local Volvo dealer, they stated that the 2nd gen XC60 was slightly smaller than the first gen. Which surprised me.

Looked at one of these a while back.

Huge yearly tax bill coupled with a small boot meant it was dismissed quickly. Nice though.
