The 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 diesel auto was always a good 4x4. Especially good to drive quickly on rough tracks.

Best car for refinement? - Videodoctor

I am looking at changing my family car for a new one next March.Which make and model of car is the best for refinement(quiet cabin) and ride(supple).
The car must be petrol and the size of a Mondeo/Vectra.
It ideally must come in under £20,000(after discounts)
I believe the Citroen C5 is refined?What do you guys think? and any other cars that make the grade.It must be brand new.
Have the new shape C5's been reliable so far? or its it still the same old Citroen.
Others on my list are Honda Accord,Mazda 6,Ford Mondeo,Vauxhall Insignia,Toyota Avensis,Skoda Superb.

Thanks guys

I think the C5 is very quiet and even on steel spring suspension rides well, couldn't comment on long term reliability or resale.

I also rate the Avensis, and in auto form especially a lovely drive, arguably likely to be more reliable

If you could push the budget up a little you might well get into a Lexus iS.

The Skoda Superb has been very well reviewed: the 1.8 TSI is the ideal petrol option.
