Which Used executive to run for next 5+ years for £2k

Looking to pick up a comfy, safe executive car for my small family - used mainly for a 20 mile commute and occasional big motorway trips. Would like good reliability, decent running costs and some toys / gadgets. Looking at following; BMW E39, Volvo S60, Saab 9-5, MG ZT, Vauxhall Signum - any suggestions please?
