A 1 series diesel auto would be more refined than your Seat

I'm thinking he wants the 400lbft surge though.

I thought the Alfa Brera 2.4 JTD was an interesting one a while back, as a motorway slag. Pity if didn't handle too well on the curvy bits. It looks like a fat, good looking bird. Tasty interior, not so tasty reliability. Big shame.

Good luck on your search :-)

Jesus. You have balls the size of melons buying that. Don't drive it to limit expenditure.

You have to really want one of these to decide on one. You could find it difficult to sell if it's not your cup of tea.
I like big cruisers like these - sleek looking thing. Congrats anyway.
Surprised you never considered a 7 series. What's the reason to want 4wd so much?
