I need a high-up car to get comfortable.

Hi, I was wondering which is the best second hand car for me. I would like a high off-the-road car because  I have back problems. I have between five and six thousand to spend.

Ta, Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,

I'd suggest choosing between a Skoda Yeti or Nissan Qashqai if your budget allows - both have high h-points, or the point at which the base of the seat lies, without being so tall that you have to climb up into them. Test drive both to see which one you find the more comfortable, and it's also worth considering the Kia Sportage and Hyundai ix35 if you can find either within budget.

Let us know how you get on
