Best jeep or car for motorway driving

Sunnyisland

Hi folks
I drive approx 1500/1000 km a week. The majority of it on motorways in Europe. At the moment I have a 2.0 Ford mondeo ghia automatic turbo diesel. I want to upgrade and wouldring what recommendations of vehicle you could give me.
I had a bmw x5 last week and have a volvo x90 this week. But have been told to stay away from jeeps and go for Mercedes or passat. Any advice thanks.

Hi Reallies. I wouldn't look at jeeps unless you need for x-country or towing.

Just my 4 pesatas

Depending on budget, an Audi A8 would be my suggestion!

If the majority of your driving is motorway then a SUV is a bit pointless. Unless you specifically need 4wd and/or high ground clearance then best stick to a comfortable saloon or estate car for mile munching.

Kawasaki zzr 14 would be my choice ðŸ˜႒

Large engined diesel A4 or A6, with Quattro
AWD is underestimated by many imo.

BMW X5 or for a more car like preference Audi allroad

I must say the bmwx5 was so comfortable and secure, and I loved it, but everyone said it no good for the admount of driving I do :-(

dont understand why . maybe down to it having worse fuel economy ? thats the only reason i can think of. but any SUV will have poor economy compared to a saloon . im looking at getting an x5 myself at the moment

Have saved this thread.

I'll be looking to change my car in the coming 12 months. Currently driving an Opel Astra 1.4 petrol '00, and most of my driving is a commute from Swords to Park West, so its a bit of M1 and then M50 up to J7.

The odd time I scoot local. But the bulk of my driving is on the motorway. Probably be looking in that bottom tier there, but some good options.

Always wanted a BMW, don't think I can ever justify the cost though
