Speaking of French. Here's one for the masochistic. Or perhaps someone looking to strike up a meaningful relationship with their local RAC man.

I still yearn for a Citroen SM.

Not to mention a £1000 cambelt change if you go to Renault who claim it's an engine out job. And it's due at 70,000 miles, so there's a bloody good chance that one is overdue . It's basically the same procedure as an Omega V6

I misread your post actually, but therin lies part of the problem.

If it was a big comfy saloon I was after, the list is long.

Jag: S-type, XF, XJ
BMW: 6/7 series, e39
Lexus LS 400/430/460
Honda Legend
Volvo s80

etc etc

Big comfy large CC petrol estate cars on the other hand, things are a bit more sparse.

A post facelift w211 could be an option, but they're not something I know a lot about.

Ride comfort declines rapidly with increased wheel size.  My uncle's e220cdi on 16s is comfy, my e320cdi on 18s was bloody awful on anything but motorway.
Either way it isn't a drivers car as such, which isn't to say I didn't like it as a means of getting to work.

Fully electric seats is a (relatively rare option) must too

I bet that a Peugeot 407 or Citroen C5 with the 3.0 V6 could be had for very little money.
Potentially Available with manual or 6-speed auto.

fixed that for you. I wonder just how few V6 ones they actually sold?

They“re quite common over here atleast..

I'm currently driving my late fathers C5 2.2hdi exclusive to give it some use and its a comfy barge tbh,handling a bit wooly but as a cruiser it takes some beating

[Viral_Jim]

While we're talking big peculiar cars, I've fancied a C6 pretty much since they came out. However I think if I ever actually parted with money for one, it would only be as a result of a severe blow to the head.

Not suggesting the above is a good one to buy, just it has a good array of pictures.

They do float along, been in one as a cab journey. Shame they have the stupid tax rate, for that price I'd want a V8.
