A consummate all-rounder is the BMW 3 Series because it does everything: fun to drive daily driver, practical family car, and an ultra-efficient cruiser thanks to a range of fuel-sipping diesel engines.
You can find older 3 Series of this generation for less money, but we'd stick with going for a post-2015 example if you plan on going for our recommended 320d because it has an improved engine that is less prone to timing chain wear.
We found: 2017 BMW 3 Series 320d Sport auto, 36,820 miles, £14,500

The current-shape Audi A8 is such good value right now that we made it our 2021 Luxury car award winner because you get one of the most refined and cosseting vehicles on the road today for half of what it cost new.
So good is this A8 that it has even beaten the outgoing 'best car in the world' Mercedes S-Class thanks to its even more sumptuous interior, superior low-speed ride quality, and greater refinement overall.
We found: 2018 Audi A8 50 TDI, 33,330 miles, £27,795

Kia Ceed Sportswagon

The Ceed Sportswagon ticks all of the practicality boxes, with a large, well-shaped boot, no load lip to haul items over, and plenty of underfloor storage to keep valuables hidden.
You'll also easily be able to find a high-spec 3 version, which gets sat-nav on a 10.3in touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, smarter interior plastics, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and rear parking sensors to go with the standard rear-view camera. We've gone for a gutsy diesel example with a huge saving over its new list price, making it an absolute bargain, given that it's just one year old and has lots of warranty left.
