What's the best used 4x4 for up to £17,000?

I'm after a small 4x4 that I can drive in fields with good ground clearance, an automatic and also sat nav. My budget is between £12-17,000. I've not liked the Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V or Audi Q3. I drive a Volkswagen Tiguan which I love but the seats are very uncomfortable.

The Suzuki Vitara will do the job but won't feel as plush as your Volkswagen Tiguan. Consider a Ford Kuga or Mazda CX-5.
