Hi Rory,

Normally, I would say the Volvo hands down. But, at that kind of budget, you're looking at an older car and the XC90 is a complex premium car, which needs looking after. Tread carefully at that price level, which is why I'm suggesting you should go for the Nissan. It can't hold a candle to the Volvo for cabin ambience, comfort or on-road dynamics but it's simpler and more rugged, and therefore less likely to give any problems.

Let us know how you get on
