Which four-wheel drive should I buy?
I need to buy a four-wheel drive car for driving on single-track roads in my new home in the North-West Highlands of Scotland. I currently drive a fantastic 2013 Fiesta Titanium so am not used to the large four-wheel drives and don't particularly enjoy driving my partner's Freelander. What would be the best car to go for?

Take a look at the Dacia Duster. It's not the plushest small SUV you can buy, but it represents excellent value for money and is available with four-wheel drive. It'll be right at home on rural roads in the Highlands of Scotland. We'd also recommend the slightly bigger Kia Sportage – it's just been replaced but there are some good deals available on pre-registered 4x4 versions of the old model.
