Used Land Rover Freelander
The Freelander delivered, and went on to become Europe's best selling four wheel drive. Unlike many compact SUVs which have since entered the market however, the Freelander is actually good off road (if not quite as good as the Discovery or Range Rover), with its Terrain Response system cleverly adapting the ride to combat whatever mud, puddles or gravel you may find yourself in. Of course, being a Land Rover, it's equally as proficient in handling your local country club's car park.
