Hi Deirdre,
Well, if you're not actually pulling anything, you shouldn't really need actual four-wheel drive, so I suggest either a Skoda Yeti Greenline or, if you fancy something a little larger, a Mazda CX-5 150hp Sport. Both have CO2 emissions of 119g/km so cost just the €200 a year to tax. By comparison, a MINI Cooper diesel costs €190.
If you really need the four-wheel drive, there are all-wheel drive versions of both cars but you're into higher purchase prices and tax bands in both cases.
