I'm going to be in need of a new motor soon for a new job. Can the PH massive help me?

My needs/wants:

-£12-14k budget
-Reliability and comfort. Approx up to 1500miles per month mainly motorway driving
-Reasonable running costs for the above
-Some sort of "Premium" image (I hate that this is probably required but needs must.)
-I have a small two seater toy car and wanted something that would make that feel even more special ideally... something boaty and not particularly dynamic, and ideally higher off the ground than a normal saloon. I have discounted an Alfa Guilia for this reason
-Will make a half decent family car in the near future

Many thanks!

Volvo S90/V90/V90 Cross Country in R-Design or Inscription trim. Or the smaller S60/V60.

I've had a V90CC for nearly six years and have done 80,000 miles in that time. Only thing I wish it had was a pan roof but as it's got light tan seats it doesn't feel like a black hole.

Driven a fair few of these & they're a good option & no better or worse than any of the German 2,0t's, I do find them a bit boosty but that's because I always end up comparing them the the 3.0SC that came before.

For me the F Pace is the sweet spot of the JLR range.
