melbourne · 2010-08-14 13:07:20

Hi all, a new job as meant that my mileage to work has to be done in the car now as opposed to the bike so I'm looking for something comfortable with a max price of about 12k. Mileage is about 120km per day round trip. Was thinking along the lines of a new shape 5 series (520i or 523i), Volvo s80 2.0T, Saab 95 or high spec…

Hi all, a new job as meant that my mileage to work has to be done in the car now as opposed to the bike so I'm looking for something comfortable with a max price of about 12k. Mileage is about 120km per day round trip. Was thinking along the lines of a new shape 5 series (520i or 523i), Volvo s80 2.0T, Saab 95 or high spec Audi A4 (2.5tdi Quattro). Leather is a must- There is huge depreciation on the big Saab's and Volvo's but they seem to tick all the boxes being nice cars with very high spec. The new shape 5 series is just about in the price range these days- all i know is if I'm spending any time in the car I want it to be as pleasant as possible- Thought about a Honda Accord but whilst it is a good car I want something that has a little more presence- any ideas or advice would be appreciated, thanks, M.
