I can give you a n opinion on all of thoes car's.
Not because I owned any but I did work for a company that replaced car's after you had been involved in a non fault accident for insurance company's.
Basically any model and any car from a kia picanto to a Aston Martin.
Anyway. The BMW's are fantastic reliable car's and at dealerships you get good quality of service.
Downfall on some is comfort. The 5 series is great but not so in the 3 series. Harder seats and adjustment can be clumsy especially if you don't go for the full electric one's.
The Lexus I cannot fault in any way other than to say their satnav system is mind boggling. Also if you get a hybrid don't believe the mpg claim. It's not even remotely close.
Volvo. Mmmmmm absolutely love them in every way. The mention about the screen is a valid one but after you get used to it you will barely touch it. You can control a lot of things from the steering wheel once you get used to the touch control's. Like tiny track pads.
Reliability. They are almost bullet proof but what I have found is their dealerships are slow and seem in no rush to to deal with you.
Skoda. Again absolutely fantastic car and really have nothing to criticise and I mean nothing. I really can't think of anything that would put me off buying one.
Dealerships very friendly and usually pretty quick if any problems arise.
Fuel consumption for the petrol versions is also very good but then again the Volvo is a much heavier car as is the Lexus and 5 series.
All in all if I had the money I would personally go for the Volvo XC90. Unbelievable piece of kit but at the same time I wouldn't cry if it had to be the Skoda. Again an unbelievable piece of kit at a lot lower cost.
PS
Automatic versions would be my choice.
