Need a robust car for £8k - any recommendations?

I want to buy my wife a car. It must be robust (we live on a farm), comfortable and suitable to carry two dogs in the back. What do you suggest for £8000?

For dogs and farm tracks you might as well go cheap with raised suspension. Get a Dacia Sandero Stepway 90TCe. £8,395 new: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/dacia/sandero-stepwa.../

Space and practicality of a small hatchback for the price of a tiny city car, low prices and cheap PCP deals make this one of the most affordable cars.
