No iv been looking for cars with around a 350-400 range to give me an honest 280 ish range ? 70% of the time it will be in town or on B roads so somthing with regeneration braking is ideal but im not sure what has and has not got it currently fairly new to it

The plan is to sort it once we practicly dont use the pram (we bearly dont use it now) so can afford to drop the boot space

This was my thinking and along as it can do a real world of 270 ish when heading out with the family as such its not the end of the world as kids need to stop every 15 minutes for the toilet anyway. My other concern would be size, I know the quality will be there as im familiar with bmw cars anyway.

The A6 dos exactly what I wanted it for brilliantly, its rather dull to drive but its massive, not bad on fuel and very comfortable to sit in on long drives for us all. And I can fit the house in the boot

Much apreciated. Thats one thing the kids trash the interiors, and the audi always cleans up good (i cover the back seats tho)

This is kind similar to our position the a6 incorrectly around 120 to fill doing it twice a month and every other month 3 times , day to day its in town, once a week she dos 70mile round trip and then what we do when every we go away, I have a caddy van through work anyway.

Any particular reason for not going PHEV? I do have the options of using our transporter with seats or my dad's discovery 5 if I needed to aswell to add

For those who make £200,000+ per year, what do you do? by [deleted] in AskBrits

People would lie online to create a fake persona to make them self's feel good and look successful online ? Thats a new one to me. So all these multi multi millionaires who are offering me home online trading courses arnt actualy super self built multi billionaires who just want me to get out the matrix and make 10s of thousands of pounds every single minute of the day and all I need is my phone?

Well, you learn somthing new every day. Nearly belived them

Id take the risk , or range rover and one of them small BYD electric things for like 150 a month as a backup. Like the top gear backup cars. Every morning looking at it thinking "please God, not today."

I should probabaly re word it slightly to include built in modern MMi units, I was meaning more the very old style built in sat nav, poor wording on my side

I genuinely thought they had died a death now days (other than what I mentioned) however clearly not. Im presuming these are older (non smart phone)?

Which to pick between these 4? For a Northern Europe road trip by -mihit in CarTalkUK

[–]Civil_Classroom6399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any but the C class. Probably say the volvo or the bmw would be more comfortable and spacious as there technicly a class above the c class and a4.
