Default "what should I buy with

Having second thoughts on buying another S, simply because i have already had one, very much fun but if i bite the bullet i will have to keep it for a couple of years so this got me thinking why not i take a bigger plunge and spend alot more money on a much better long term car than settle with a S and a CRV which i bought at the end of last year.

I need to try and get into a car i can be comfortable in for long term, I use this car mostly for pleasure and i want to be able to load it up for buggering off about this country when i get them time.

It also needs to be able to cope with having four people in comfort for some distance and to carry enough in baggage when we go abroad.

So my plan is to sell the CRV i bought in december and no longer go ahead with a New S which is due to come in to stock in three weeks or so, having spoken to the dealer they are in the mind that if i did cancel they would have a demo car quicker than normal.

I have already looked at the range rover sport and have a test drive booked for next monday this is the only thing that has jumped out at me so far as a good all rounder.

So you thoughts as what car fits the bill for the purpose i need.

M3 fits perfect does it not? Or how about an RS6?

Have you seen the MPG on the Range Rover Sport? You may change your mind after seeing it!
