Both of those cars along with the st tdci Mondeo. We're on my short list of new family hack.
I had just finished working for Audi and had drive alot of them in all forms and to be honest I didn't find it that nice a place to be, yes it had all the toys but it lacked feeling in the drive
BMW soon got dismissed due to the image that it comes with
Mondeo was very nice (had a2.0 tdci ghia at time) but found alot of them had being neglected and on all of them the alloys were badly corroded.
In the end and totally by accident we ended up in
Alfa 156 2.4jtdm 20 valve very nice to drive averages 40+ around town and the last tank of mainly motorway got mid 50s
Full leather plenty of goodies inside and decent looks and the big plus is they can be had for a fraction of the cost of the others
