I have become a bit of a fan of Dacias (though I don't have one).
The Logan is very good for room, the Stepway has extra ground clearance, and the Duster gets good reviews. All (new) could be in your budget.
I have always been an older car sort of bloke, with not much time for new cars with too much to go wrong. However, having lost my enthusiasm for DIY mechanics (skinned knuckles, laying underneath cars with hot oil dripping on my face, etc.) I am quite tempted by a new car on PCP. Pay a reasonable monthly payment (say £120) and have a car under warranty, breakdown, service plan, etc. A complete rethink for me, but when I read of 'ECU' issues, DMFs, £100 to plug in for diagnostics, I shudder.
Son has a coming up for 12 month old Dacia Sandero. I've been impressed with it.
May be worth a visit to a Dacia dealer if badges don't matter to you.
