Sub 5k reliable 4x4 suggestions

[Zippee]

Friend of mine is looking for a decent reliable and not too costly to run 4x4 for around the 5k mark. She is a tree surgeon and also helps out on her friends farm so it will be used for what it's meant for, though also had 2 young kids (3&4) so needs something that will also do the mum thing reasonably well.
Any suggestions?

a honda CRV gen 2 would be that price or cheaper (04 -07 plate)

Usual honda reliability, choice of Derv or petrol, 4x4 is only 'on demand' though but its fine for mild stuff, guess it depends how 'off road' it'll go.

2nd vote for the Panda 4X4 - We have three cars in the household fleet but tend to grab the keys for the Panda 7 times out of 10...

Seconding the Vitara. They've been good to us.

I'd say the Ford Kuga in AWD spec would be a good choice:

Hyundai Santa Fe Premium You'll have to haggle but you should get one for 5k
