I return again, with the same budget. I think I'm over the RR itch, so now eliminated from the list.

20k, could stretch 2/3k more for the right car. If I got a decent price for my trade in, could add another 1k or so on top of that.

What I'd like;

- High seated position (would sacrifice this for right car)
- 3L engine at least, auto diesel
- Car Play
- Comfy leather Seats
- Heated elements (wheel/seat), Cooling would be nice also but not too bothered.
- Retractable sun roof for those lovely summer country drives
- A comfortable ride with a bit of power
- Nice looking interior/exterior, something a bit stylish/sporty
- Newer the better, however again would consider older if meets other needs

This probably all reads like SUV, but I'm going to keep open minded. I do not want a hatchback, and I'll need 4/5 seats.

Cars that have caught the eye after an AutoTrader browse;

- Audi A4/5/6/7 (depends on year whether in budget)
- BMW X3/4/5/6 (depends on year whether in budget)
- Jaguar F-Pace (presuming same reliability issues as RR as these seem too cheap)
- Volkswagen Touareg (know nothing about them)
- Lexus RX450h (seems to tick most of the boxes, but apparently the gearboxes are crap and it's petrol only)
