Looking to change wife's Subaru Impreza bought new in 2009 from a car supermarket and just clocked 120k,
Reason for change is its a bit on the small side, and after too long of living at the hospital were now planning to drive to the alps a couple of times a year and get back to the snow.
Question is what to change it for criteria seams to be,
True 4x4,
Big enough to carry a family of 4 with kit , but not to massive like the double cab to park,
Nothing fancy, It lives on a farm and is steam cleaned prior to MOTs and the inside attacked with hydro vane.
Bomb proof reliable
budget 16-20k not interested in finance or even main dealer so looking at 2-4 year old model.
Looked so far at the Subaru forester, and Mitsubishi Outlander, someone suggested VW/Skoda but not sure on reliability?
Suggestions much apricated.
