thank you

only have a £10k budget so we'll be quite limited although I spotted a 1.4TSi which is 4mo but I have no experience of those engines and wondered if they would cope with snow etc.. it'll be used in some pretty hilly surroundings and probably snowy conditions

DH - your take please?

The 1.4TSI can have a few problems

Try and get a 140 diesel if you can 

What about a Yeti?

yeti is too pricey still at the moment... £10k budget

Ok what about an estate with Haldex or Quattro??

been thinking about them... like a passat but the preference is for a tig or a defender 90

As bullet proof as the defenders are, I don't think you'll like it as a day to day car. Far too loud and uncomfortable. They are extremely basic, even the brand new ones, and I know its a kinda charm that some like, but for me its just not a nice place to be when driving. Don't get me wrong they have their niche, but for a daily/workhorse, I couldn't spend alot of time on the road in one. I think the Tig is probably the best you're likely to find in the VAG range. Maybe an BMW X3?
