recommendations for next car - 15k miles a year

[SkinnyJ]

My car lease is coming to an end in November and I'm looking for the best options going forward. I can't get anything close to what I have currently in the same price range - C200 coupe, 3+35 £452 a month so have accepted its going to be a downgrade, which I am okay with for the short term if I'm paying a fair bit less than I am paying now.

Looking for recommendations; lease or pcp, my requirements:

- Diesel (do a 50mile round trip 5 days per week, pretty much all motorway)
- Apple car play
- Automatic
- I'm not super fussed about performance but the car needs to have some power behind it - I test drove an A200d and that was fine, i just don't want to be struggling to get up to speed on the motorway
- I've grown accustom to the comfort of my current car but willing to accept a downgrade if the price is right
- Ideally would like the option to upgrade in 2-3years

Thanks

I'd be looking at something from Volvo

Buy a used 330d for £18k

Early retirement is a better option if it is viable!

A great mile-munching engine.
The GT version has a longer wheelbase and softer setup so worth considering for motorway cruising.
