Looking for a budget 4x4
I'm looking to replace my Ford Focus with something that I can comfortably use on a bumpy and muddy tracks in all weathers. I only have £3500 to spent and was considering the Skoda Octavia Scout, do you have any suggestions?

Small: a Daihatsu Terios or FIAT Panda 4x4 or Suzuki Ignis 4x4.
Bigger, a Honda HRV if you can find a good one.
Don't recommend a Rover 'StreetWise'.
