What car best fits my criteria?

[karl922]

Hi guys,

Please help me find my next car, I’m going around in circles. I can’t seem to find a car with everything I’m after, does it even exist?

I have the following criteria for the next car;

Budget below 27k
Max 5 years old
Below 60k miles
40+ mpg on a run
Refined and quiet
Auto
Space for a medium dog
Under 7 secs to 70
Air suspension(or at least really supple if springs)
Panoramic roof / sunroof
Good stereo (I know this varies on spec for upgrades)
Reasonable running costs and reliability
Premium feel, ie. badge.

Shortlisted the following;

E class estate (only gets me 220d)
S class (dog on the back seat isn’t ideal)
5 series touring (a bit meh)
3 series touring (335d interests but no air suspension)
Touareg (air suspension is rare)
Discovery 4 (reliability scares me)

I used to have a Bitdi Audi A7 and that fits most of my criteria, currently in a clubman which I detest.

Any suggestions are welcome.

E350d Premium Plus ticks your boxes:

Or a 2015 All Road 272 ticks every box but age & it's under budget

272 A6 S Line

Or if you can live with 66k on the clock & an Extended Audi Warranty then this BiTDI is the one.

Or this one under budget with 61k

E350 looks boss, especially in that colour

one of the last CLS 350 shooting brakes would do it

Thanks for the suggestions ZX, as I’ve already had the A7, it’s feel a step back as those Audis suggested have the same interior as my old one. With regards to the E class, it’s nice, but I’d feel short changed with it being the old model, the interior hasn’t aged so well IMO. I have considered the allroad as I know they have air as standard.

Last of the line CLS350 but the older style tech may not be up your street

Truthfully for what you want I'd say you'll have to up your budget & look for a All Terrain E350d

Or up the budget a bit haggle hard & get a very nice XF:
