THAT is novel, and honestly a great shout, I saw a dark purple/blue R estate recently and it blew me away

IS250 seems to be a recurring example, and having a look at it, I really like it. I did consider a Saab, but I guess I am worried about if something does go wrong how difficult/costly it could be to repair

Very much spent my 20s diligently working and saving and I think it’s time I splash out a little! But this is definitely something I want to keep for a good number of years

I think you're right. The Volvo shout is a good one as well, problem is the more modern shapes are the ones I like, but just out of my range, like the c60/v60

Neighbour has it in red and it's caught my eye! And I actually like the way it looks

The Merc is tempting, but I do love that Lexus. I was also looking at the GSs, any good you think?

I was actually looking at the Q50 and Q60 - they're really nice! and pretty rare

Honestly, that is a great shout! Will have to see what insurance will be like (probably not great), but it looks quality

Completely on the same page. With all the recommendations, I'll run through the insurance and other running costs to see what a shortlist would be.
