Don't base your decision solely on reviews, I've just changed vehicles I was convinced I was going to buy BMW X3 which gets great reviews after test driving it I wasn't convinced ended up getting a Volvo XC60 D5 awd, not quite as plush as the Beemer but I feel it will suit me better...and some great deals available on the CC Affinity scheme with volvo.

after much deliberation, we are going to sell the nissan as is, then get cheap car for now and this time next year hopefully get another 4x4, next dilema is what, must be a hatch as we take a dog away, must be at least 2.0 to tow the caravan and be 5 door as 2 kids around £1500 thinking of a ford mondeo ?

The Mondeo is a popular tugger.
Would an estate not also be a good choice ?

yes i think an estate would be good, however my wife uses car for work everyday too and so parking is a bit of an issue plus she says they look too long !!, also looking at the touran, petrol crv, or anything else suitable really so long as the mrs likes the look of it its got a stereo and isnt stupid milage ??

Antara was tested a few years ago at Tow Car Awards I think most of the vehicles mentioned in this thread have but it is a good place to check and compare a vehicle or type against its peers.
