Hi Jerry,

C-segment crossovers are your ideal vehicles, then, and there are plenty of them in a €13,000-€15,000 price bracket on the used market. Try vehicles such as the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Kuga, Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Volkswagen Tiguan and more.

However, if you want the newest and most unprepossessing – yet excellent – vehicle for your money, you could do a lot, lot worse than a Dacia Duster. The bargain SUV is capacious, well-equipped on higher-spec models and you can get relatively young, low-mileage models for your money. In actual fact, the brand-new model starts from around €17,000 only, so that gives you an idea of what you can get for your €15,000 in terms of Mk1 Dusters.
