Hello chaps.
I've been given an 18 month contract to work in Edinburgh, so I'm travelling from Leeds & back every week, a grand total of 515 miles a week. I've a Mercedes C220 CDI estate, it's a great cruiser, but there's one big drawback.
It's crap in the snow. It wallowed around in the few days we had snow in Leeds, so it'd be totally useless up in Scotland, methinks.
Once my tax rebate comes through, I'm going to get rid & get something else that can do the intergalactic mileage I plan to do every year. So, no doubt there's a few of you that do lots of miles, I'm after some suggestions please.
It has to be an estate car as I usually take 1-2 other folk, too, so the boot has to carry holdalls & PPE. The Audi A4 Avant is a tempter, but the Volvo V40/60 is coming more into the fore. The BMW 320 XDrive might be just a tad too dear.
So, any suggestions/first hand experiences? I'm for once, totally clueless what to get.
Cheers
Adam
