What would you buy?

circa 2004 X5.

Ticks all the boxes

And again, you pay £1,000,000 just for a new tyre.

I never ever thought i would say this but i can't recommend Octavias enough. Mine was only a mid spec one but the VRS dervs are supposed to be very good. VRS perv was a bit of a let down in terms of performance but comfort and toys, couldn't knock it for the money!
RCZ? Never driven one so don't know what they are like to drive but I've been in one and must say, the build quality is substantially better than what you would expect from Peugeot.
Or, if you really want value for money and a bit of poke, Volvo or Saab. Seem to get shit loads of toys and comfort for what you pay!
