Help me out-Suggestions?
Discussion
Looking for some suggestions as to what would tick all these boxes.
Current Car – Chrysler 300c CRD in full drug dealer spec (Black/lowered with tinted windows/chrome). As bad a press as these cars get, this has been my favourite car I have ever owned to date. Really comfy, bags of space, has plenty of go for overtakes, and the best stereo in a car I personally have ever had ( I have added a powered sub).
Just for balance, my other car is a Porsche 356 replica built/painted/trimmed by myself, so I am not totally bereft of taste.
Things I need to do are:-
Transport my two sons about 10 & 12 and growing at a rapid rate.
Twice a year I move a small boat by trailer. I can borrow an Evoque for that at a push.
15min commute to work and back daily (stop start type driving)
Do a weekly drive along Scottish Lochside roads with short overtaking opportunities so looking for plenty of reserves for quick overtakes. I am really fortunate that I have some really lovely quiet roads to drive on.
If money was no object, I would love an Aston Martin Vantage.
Next down the line is a Jaguar XK. The more I look at these, an XKR 5.0 seems to offer so much (except 4 seats!!!!!)
So…anybody got a suggestion for something that would be a good all rounder?
Budget between £15 and £25k.
Looking for used rather than new.
Mileage wise happy to go up to about 60k for a used car.
I am not a huge fan of yuppie 4x4 type cars BMWX5’s Porsche Cayennes as the Chelsea Tractor/Footballers wives kind of stigma (says me in my pimpmobile!)
