My question is, what on earth could replace it? Any suggestions from all you helpful people?

In my case, I swapped my Tourer for a BMW 520d SE Touring.
It's a lovely car, but it frightens the life out of me at the cost if/when things start going wrong.
My joints aren't so good these days so will have to be paying someone to crawl under and around it. Even removing one of the 245/45/18 wheels was an effort compared to the 195/65/15 on my 75.
Wisdom may come with age, but strength and good joints don't.
It's like the old saying, "The mind is willing but the body is weak."
