407/bmw/merc all reasonable and comfy mile munchers..
also consider, Skoda Octavia, PAssat, A4/6,

personally i would recommend the V70 or XC70 in D5 variant, and also the V50 (i owned this one) , in either the 2.0D (Ruan has one) and/or the D5 spec.. the 2.0 is 138bhp and perfect, the D5 is 180(if i remember) and smooth as silk, sounds great, and they are both quite bomb proof.
the V50 is a lovely car, comparable in comfort to any BMW, if you can get the SE spec, with optional xenons, and high spec sound system its lovely.. Trim levels are excellent, they are roomy and comfy.. If you get a "sport" ore more recently the Rdesign ones (with the 18inch wheels, lower profile tyres, etc) the comfort is reduced a little bit, but handling and performance are improved.
the V50 we had was 88k from new, FSH (volvo specialist) absolutely top top SE sport spec and only cost £5000
mum has the 1.6 eco thingy blue/green/red HDi in a 308 SW and its lovely, smooth, pokey, and returns a million mpg almost...

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
