We have got our first child on the way and my wife does not travel lightly so I am looking for a car for her ideally a small 4x4. I would need to get a loan to buy the car or to lease one,

So far we have thought about a 2nd hand

x5 can get a nice diesel for 10k but will cost a bomb to run
X3 can get a nice one for 10-12k and will be ok to run.

We have thought about leasing and have looked at the following

Ford Kuga but to lease they are £380 a month or 21k to buy. We liked this one a lot.

Nissan quaskai nice car but similar money.

Any ideas would be good

Skoda Yeti? 4x4 models start at a shave over £18K OTR, and they're offering finance at 7.9% APR if you buy before October. Some lease deals within your budget too, if you go over 4 years.

Rather than bin £300 a month on a new car, id go used and get something like an X-trail/ Rav 4 and spend the huge savings made, on the family, etc.

We are actually thinking of swapping our X Trail for a Ford Focus and we have 5 year old twins.

Breaking my heart at the moment because the X Trail has just been so good (AND fantastic boot compared to some soft roaders)

Yeti looks good!!

The Qashqai is taken my fancy at the moment £240 a month for a two year lease or £290 including maintence doesn't seem a bad deal to me.

At the budget your talking about the X5 & 3 are non starters as will be too old 2nd hand and too much on lease. The mrs has a Rav4 and is starting to look at a replacement. Kuga looks nice outside but horrible inside and Im not a fan of Ford reliability and the Rav has been bullet proof. She fancies a CRV as a change from Rav but I think even the latest model looks older than it is.

As for space some of these 4x4 have very small boot space. Her Rav (admittedly 3dr) has a tiny boot in comparison to many hatches (inc my Civic Type R).

Is that not the business price?

So it is, you just add the VAT then, so just under £240
