cheers chaps im kind of glad that the preferred response is petrol! My missus uses our C220 cdi sport mercedes for work,s he drives about 15 each way and only gets about 32-35mpg, she does have a heavy right foot but did expect better when I bought it.

Been scouring ebay and the trader, really fancy a large barge like a 7 series beemer or Audi A8!!!! Any ideas on alternatives up to about 3k? Ideally and auto and something with a big boot, folding seats ideally but not essential!
