Question

Hi,

I have a budget of £27,500 and am looking to buy an executive/luxury saloon around 2-3 years old.

I am considering he BMW 7 Series 730d and the Audi A8 3.0 Diesel. I will be motorway driving a fair amount (15-20,000 miles a year) and am looking for a big car (I am 6"5) that is comfortable and enjoyable to drive.

Your advice would be greatly welcomed.

Thank you.

Answer

Hi

Well, this is a great problem to have!

Here are some you may not have thought about, but which as you can read in my reviews (just search the knowledgebase) are fun to drive and within buget:

  • Mercedes CLS - stylish, different, handles well, 37 mpg
  • Honda Legend (with change) - handles better than anything and very rare
  • Chrysler 300c - handles better than you think, is a great cruiser, diesel does 35 mpg

I don't find the 7-Series seats that comfortable and its a pig to park. The Audi's depreciation is heavy throughout its life. So while I understand you considering them I think my choices are worth a thought....
