What will I replace by Hyundai Santa Fe with?

I'm currently driving a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0-litre 2WD... It's a lovely car and has great spec for its time - leather upholstery, a/c, cruise control, etc, but on the downside is poor on fuel consumption and motor tax. I drive about 20,000km per year - manily Dublin with about 10 trips to Mayo each year.

What would you recommend replacing it with?

Anything to look out for on the Toyota Land Cruiser?

I am going buying a 2010/2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. Is there anything I should look out for in particular? What is your opinion regarding long/short wheelbase? Would automatic or manual be a better buy? I would not be doing a lot of trailer pulling?

Thanks
