GS450h it's not the newest car you can get for the money but ticks all your boxes and it'll hold its value. Amazing to drive, as quiet as an Sclass, faster than a 335i when you need the power but cheaper to run and is much less trouble to own than both

E350d coupe. Or saloon if you need more doors. Lovely engine, big torque. Very comfy and refined.

12 months ago I spent £20k on an Audi A7 Bitdi.
Quick car, good on fuel, 4x4, 5 seater, hatchback versatility, 3.0. Looks sporty.

XJ 5.0 V8 2012 and low mileage.

Magic carpet ride, fantastic sound system, awesome 5 litre supercharged engine and tons of toys.

thanks for all the replies.

i should of mentioned due to my age cars such as Jag are probably not for me (yet)

after looking it seems 20k isnt enough. but you need to set a limit somewhere.

ive checked PCP for 18 + plate cars and the GMFV must be insanely low as the monthly price isnt much less than HP anymore...

Thats because prices at the moment are massively inflated. That £20k budget is buying a 'true' £15-16k car. Hence in 3-4 years time market conditions are expected to be resolved so prices will crash.

I'd say the 4.7TT CL500 is a car that ticks all of the boxes:
