Although it takes a while to get up to 70, I had good experiences with the Nissan Almera as a motorway cruiser. It catches they eye of the babes when you pull into a motorway service station too.
I suppose I could buy one for everyday of the week. Not sure what the neighbours will make of it when I clog up the on street parking..
I am leaning towards the mazda 6.
I never considered a Volvo but a quick look shows that they offer a good performance/ efficiency ratio. The off putting element is the interior. Very outdated.
I worry that with BMWs, it would have been driven by boy racers and the parts are particularly.
With the Q50, do you think that it looks like an old Toyota corolla?0 -

Probably why I have just bought one :rotfl: not much change in 15 years but not nearly as clunky as it was in the 80's0 -
I should add the Mazda 6 is quite a big motor. In particular it's quite long which can make finding a parking space more difficult. On the other hand there's also loads of room inside which can be handy. Make sure you go for at least the 2015 facelift version as they did a lot of improvements that year.0

How long are you planning on keeping it?
If you're aiming to keep it for a while then you might want to factor in reliability and look at Toyotas.0 -
Dont know much about Infinity.
However out of the BMW 3 series and Mazda 6. It would be the 6 due to reliability and cost of running.
Well, actually for doing 17k motorway miles I would get a Toyota or Volvo but you didnt mention those.0 -

It is obviously a very obscure vehicle because everyone is spelling it incorrectly - it is InfinitiIf you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
Honda CRV
Dont buy a BeemerFeudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0 -
My commute now consists of a 40 mile return motorway journey and my Mazda RX8. Revs are always high (4k) doing 70mph on 6th gear, uncomfortable harsh ride, 20-25mpg at best and a very noisy cabin. Thankfully its only 20 miles each way so I actually enjoy the commute but anything more than that and I'd hate the car.0

I used to get 60mpg+ with my 320D on a motorway0

I'd get one with cruise control and economy settings, maybe even an energy recovery system.0
