Best 4x4 for £5000

I have about £5000 to spend on a diesel 4x4.
I am looking at Landrover Freelanders and Nissan X trails.
Which would be best and are there any others I should consider?

X-Trail. But if you want a stronger one, go for the cruder Terrano II.

Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
