Is there a PH consensus of what's the best value for money 4WD at the moment?

I've been overseas for 2 years, just came back to the UK, and need a car quickly. It's for a family of 3.

When I left in 2015, PHers were very keen on the the Skoda Superb (Laurin & Klement version) as the most car for the money. I was also looking at Phaetons when I got back.

Could the kind souls of PH please give any further pointers? Heated rear seats are a must. Reverse camera would be great. High driving position would be nice too but not essential.

Thanks everyone

There's not many cars that fit the bill, 39 AWD cars with heated rear seats on AutoTrader, that's not including reversing camera and has a lot of tatty looking older Range Rovers for sale. If you're happy to drive a Kia Sportage, this has all the requirements but it ain't a looker.

Similar to the above, but given no budget was specified, you could get yourself into a Hyundai Tuscon

That's brilliant. Thanks, it looks almost perfect for my requirements until I decide on something more permanent.

Another great pointer, thanks.

Budget in the title was 10k but I could try to stretch or find one with a bigger mileage.

In terms or reliability/quality stakes which would be your preference between the Kia and Hyundai?

I heard all Kia models come with 7 year warranties, and I've heard excellent things about Hyundai and their customer service in general?

Kia would be the better of the 2 imo.

An Audi Q7 also comes with those specs you need but both are optional extras so may take a bit of time to find and you'd need to up your budget to £14-15k

Kia & Hyundai are the same cars with different bodies but the running gear is identical so get the best one you can find they're reliable & very well equipped.

Many thanks, I went to see a Hyundai at the weekend and thought it was very well put together but I'd like to test drive the Kia first as well before I press the trigger.
