Lexus 400H - 3.3 petrol / hybrid. 30 to gallon, goes like ---- of a shovel, loads of torque, good in snow. Have had one from new (2008) 160k on clock and so far the only issues I’ve had is normal wear an tear on brakes. Over engineered for US market I’m told.
 
Have a look at a Kia Sportage, looks quite sporty, handles really well and you get the rest of the 7 year warranty if its used. can get a 16 plate from a kia dealership for between 16 and 20k I almost got one, but it wouldnt fit in my parking space in the car park!!. so ended up with a kia rio instead.

Neighbour has a non Hybrid Lexus they do look like great cars and will outlast a RR.
 
Can get a half-decent RR for ÂŁ20k mate.
No,no,no...get an older one,and know you are taking a punt,or a new one,and get ready to use that warranty,but at 20G,you're at the casino:eek:
Got dozens of friends and associates,who had TDV6's,and felt like Bernie Madoff was the dealer...
 
For 20k I would look at the Range Rover evoque. If you could stretch a bit further then I’d look a the Jag F-Pace.

I'd been considering buy a Discovery Sport (when I used to be rich :().

However it would seem they (and the Evoque) have a nasty little design issue, oil dilution with their diesel engines. So I wouldn't touch a used one with a barge pole.

The F-Pace, which has a similar engine, doesn't have the issue as the engine is not mounted transversally.

You got divorced, thats a real money drainer......... I feel your pain ;o))))

260BHP AWD, fuel consumption errr don't ask 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and it does surprise a lot of people especially the Porsche driver from a couple of weeks okay lol

All I can say is that it wouldn’t hurt just for added protection.
