Long story short, I don't have a car at the moment and am borrowing my mum's. I would like to have a temporary car to tide me over so that I can give my mum her car back.

Here's why I loved my Nissan Murano:

- 3.5 litre V6 engine (put a massive smile on my face)
- Motorway killer (I could do a 4 hour drive without a break)
- High drive position
- 4WD
- Heated rear seats (a must-have for the wife)
- Reverse camera
- Panoramic sunroof
- Huge boot, but with the lie-flat seats down it was a cavern
- Compact SUV, dead easy to park
- Huge spec. Bluetooth, Bose surround sound, cruise control, kerbside camera, full colour sat nav, climate control etc etc.

Paid £7,000 in 2017, FSH, 2 owners, 2010 plate, 60,000 miles, had it 3 years kept it in tip top condition

One low impact smash, insurers wrote it off, gave me £3,500

Gutted.

Can you recommend me a reliable barge to tide me over for a few months with any or all of the above virtues whilst I haunt Autotrader for a replacement (there's only 18 in the country, most look like dogs).

Thanks

Another Murano, maybe and re-evaluate why heated rear seats are a showstopper.
