Fair enough. I've always tried to stretch my budgets to get more horsepower and more prestige, and have sometimes regretted doing so.I think that maybe a Jaguar is beyond what I am after, a sensible easy maintained & reliable car.

I should stop pushing you in the same direction
Just looking online & I can get a 6 months old Mondeo 2.0 240 BHP Ecoboost Titanium with X-Pack, fully loaded for £15,000 & 2.5 yrs Ford warranty.
I don't like the wires in the windscreen or the grabby breaks on the Mondeo I was glad to return it and get back into my Alfa 159.

Bet you can fit a big telly in one Stuart!If you want good dealer service then get a Lexus.
Not sure why you discount Mercedes? BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Lexus/Jaguar are fighting hard against each other for market share. There are lots of Mercedes Taxis out there for a reason.
I have just spent a month with a company car hired Renault Kadjar - it's the Renault version of the Nissan Qashqai (Nissan and Renault are in alliance). I thought I was going to hate it, but it grew on me. I particularly liked the higher driving position. Okay, the Renault engineers have screwed up what was a good design in the Qashqai by messing with the multimedia system, cup holders etc. I was going to order a new Insignia, but it just so happens a year-old Qashqai become available. I've only had it a few days but so far it's better than the Kadjar. The 1.5 dci is no racing car, but it is ample for Town driving and okay when you get up to speed on motorways. Best fact for me is it's 99 g/km for co2 emissions which helps keep the tax bill down. Unfortunately, the previous owner was a smoker, so I am going to have to valet the hell out of it to get rid of the smell and it was valeted fully before I got it.

I've lived with the heated windscreen for 14 years in my old Mondeo, one of the best car innovations ever & I'm surprised other manufacturers do not fit them. Can't say I ever see the wires, they just disappear from view they are that fine.
