      Handy for opening the boot if you have a bad back.

        If you're doing MPV, I would prefer this one,nicer overall:

        Peugeot 5008 MPV - Summary - New Car Review - What Car?

        Or get a Mazda 6 estate for bulletproof reliability (unlike the Germans), sporty drive and comfort

                I've got a 5 Series 520d touring which I'm currently doing a 150 mile per day commute in and I can definitely recommend it. It is a nice big car which eats up the miles and makes the commute as nice as it can be. It’s the small things that that make the experience nice like windscreen wipers that come on automatically when it rains (especially nice when the rain is light so you don’t have to constantly turn your wipers on and off) and integrated Bluetooth for your phone and sat nat etc. You can most probably get these as optional extras on other cars but they come as standard on the 5 Series so you know you are getting them if you buy the car second hand.

                Talking of second hand I can recommend Car Giant which is where I got my car. The price was on the low teens which is a third of what you would but it new and although it had done 86 000 miles it was in mint condition and I was not to worried about that sort of mileage on a diesel engine. I thought the 114 point check they do before they give you the car was sales BS but I was a day late in getting the car as the had to replaced the clutch and some bearings. I’ve had the car for two years now and it definitely one of the better purchases I have made

                  Is a BMW 520d too obvious a choice?
                  That or a Mondeo Titanium 2.0 diesel (What Car used car of the year). Neither is very nice to look at but do what they say on the tin. If budget stretches a 4 yr old 535d is very quick will do 35mpg+ and should be about 15k.
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    With a (£300) ECU remap and rolling road tune you can get over 300bhp from a 535d. Not bad for a cheap diesel car with pretty good fuel economy.

                    Would leave sasguru in his tired old Mazda 626 a small dot in the rear view mirror.
