    Never understood this pose factor thing. I like understated Q cars (and Alfas ).
    Driving is a fun experience not a posy one, IMO.
    Couldn't care less what people think.
    The discontinued Mazda 6 MPS was one of my favourites.
    4WD, a fine chassis, and a turbo-charged engine meant a shit load of fun.
    The old Subaru Forester (15 years ago) was another.
    Both practical enough for family use too.
    In current times the Octavia VRS is similar but I don't like the front wheel drive.

    Have had the Merc for a few months and while I like its comfort and build quality, it's not very chuckable.

    Oh, and people base their opinions on personal experience.

    OP - E63 now close to your budget. Leaves the Pikeys with their "red powered" E class behind.

    CLS - that is all
    Quite a bit rarer than the E-class, nice and solidly built, decent 3.0 engine......£20k will get a very nice one (GFV on mine, going back to MB in Dec, is £23k from £55k list price)
