so im after a 4x4 saloon thats good for towing my kit car, aswell as commuting (mainly b roads). to replace the E46 328CI.

requirements are:

nice interior
petrol or diesel, preferably around 30mpg would be good
reliable
cheapish to run
bigish boot/folding rear seats
nice to drive
would rather an auto

budget is between 3-4K, but would prefer nearer the 3K mark.

so far ive only come up with either the subaru legasy 2.5, or the audi A4 quattro 3.0.

so any suggestions?

cheers

Audi A6 if you require a large boot.

Jaguar X-Type 2.5 or 3.0? All these are permanent AWD.

Passat 4motion, although most are 2.8 v6 so you will struggle to see anywhere near 30mpg, a few diesel 4motions do exist though. Rear seats don't fold though.

Ovlov of some sort. Could probably get a reasonable V70 albeit with high miles for your money?
