Best motorway car?

BMW 435d X drive grande coupe. Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Sting as in power not running costs. A super car worrier too!

Good luck at the OP's "6-7k, perhaps a little more"

Apologies excited response as a new forum member. Scrolled down and read the rest. On that budget? Jaguar XF 3.0d Luxury would be ny recommendation. Father in law brought a used one of high specification. We recently complete a 600 mile round trip with no issues. A few weeks later at 128k miles the rear wheel bearings were replaced. No problems out of the ordinary otherwise.

Plenty of big engined suggestions that are going to cost a fortune in fuel and maintenance.

Given your handle I'm going to suggest a punt on economy, comfort and equipment and suggest you take a look at the dual fuel (Petrol/LPG) Proton Gen2 GSX.

Economic, high equipment levels including very good seats and Lotus engineered suspension.

6-7k will easily get you a two year old on about 30k miles.

I do 650 motorway miles a week in mine (Hull<->Leeds daily) and it very fit for purpose for this.

LPG is half the price of Petrol (50p vs 99p) and offers similar mileage.

I'd go for a massive barge of some sort. Jag xj6, bmw 7 series, mercedes e500 or a manele audi A8. Something with a massive spec, upgraded soundsystem and comfortable centre arm rest.

Found the perfect car and only took me a few minutes. Jag XJR 4.2 V8. It will eat tyres with the same enthusiasm as it's appetite for petrol stations but these small drawbacks are far outweighed by the supercharged motorised sofa experience.
