Hi
I would like reliability first and foremost,comfort,auto,space,power.
I live in Spain and travel about 500mls motorway every two weeks.
Also I would like a bit of class,as never in my 40 years of driving owned a decent motor.

You'd get a lot newer C320 CDI than a 530d for same money.

I am looking for an estate.

Will look into the Merc,the wife is rather keen on the BMW,so it will take a bit of earbashing,myself not too bothered.

Thanks
