Hi All

Currently have a 3.0 Z4 that's gradually coming up with more and more issues.

I'm looking for a somewhat do-it-all car, while accepting that compromises will need to be made one way or another.

Essentially I'm after a car that'll be (fairly) new, comfy, well equipped, and reliable. Up to £12k sort of area.

I've no real preference on type of car, number of seats, number of doors etc, albeit I'd prefer something a little larger - Saloon, Coupe, Estate, SUV, 4x4 etc.

Im flitting from one car to the next at the moment! Have been looking at GT86, Hyundai Veloster, Kia ProCeed, Jeep Renegade, Kia Optima, BMW 1/3 Series etc. - So quite a range!

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be rather grateful.

I'll go with the alternates.

SUV wise it'd be one of these:

Or a slightly older model with more miles but cheaper:

They come with everything but the kitchen sink spec wise & have a nice 3.0d engine or if you don't do many miles then there's a petrol version in the bigger FX form:

Or the Grand Cherokee Overland:

You've given me an awful lot of research to do sir. Thank you.

Admittedly I've given a huge scope of cars where pretty much anything is available hehe

Honestly, Lexus is what I'd go for.

IS300 and you're set.
