Can you recommend a car with high seats and comfort?

We need a high seated car due to back problems. We have looked at Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4, Nissan Qashqai, Volvo XC60 and Kia Sportage but there are so many others. Our priorities are comfort, reliability and good fuel consumption.

Our annual mileage is around 5000 but some years we may do more. We have a budget of around £25,000 and would appreciate your recommendations.

Generally, a Honda CR-V is the most comfortable, especially on 17-inch wheels. Latest price list (that came in today) is here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-cr-v-1...s For 5,000 miles a year a 2.0iVTEC makes the most sense.
