What do you think is the best all round (modern) car available for £100k right now?

My vote is a used 991 Turbo S - probably one of the best all rounders and would suit almost any situation from daily driver to track, roadtrips, snow etc.

I also think they hit the sweet spot of looking special, purposeful but not OTT, could easily be enjoyed every day of the year.

Surely it's going to be something like the E63 or the M5 if we are talking all rounders. Incredibly fast and fun on the twisty stuff, but more than enough room and luxury to carry a family across a continent in comfort.

The only real thing missing is space, so I think as an all rounder it ultimately loses out to something like the Panamera equivalent, an M5 or even the Cayenne Turbo. I think I'd say the Cayenne Turbo is the best all rounder.

Quite. Panamera would get my vote based on the criteria.

Another vote for RS6, Although the new E63 looks pretty bonkers too if you don't like Audi.

Both in mighty wagon form of course

I know OP said car but instead I'd take a SUV

More primarily, the RANGE ROVER SPORT SVR

Damn, that is my favourite vehicle on the market right now and way out of ny price range, but in 3 years or less, who knows....

The Audi is a bit of a crap drive so for me can never be an all rounder. Would take the Merc every time instead.

RS6 Avant is considerably less than 100k on the road, unless you load its spec with ridiculous things like 5k for a matt paint finish.

And besides, it's an estate. I wouldn't go near a boring-looking granddad car for 100k.

Much better, more exclusive and exotic all-rounders for that kind of money.

M5 if you want something that puts a proper smile on your face when driven.

If you want additional practicality then the RS6 is a good shout or the new E63S.

I'd be surprised if you could actually get a 991 Turbo S for £100k yet as they still seem to be a good way North of that, although not a million miles away.

Practically though (and this is one of the big categories of a 'all rounder') the exotics would be as good as a 'grandad car' Shirley????
