[quote=Heinz]Perhaps. criteria #6 is hard to realize, but a one year young one with an engine not too hot could match your demands. I my view one of the best designed and looking current Benz, the shooting brake.

Probably the perfect answer, especially with the 3L diesel, but in the UK not available as a 4-matic, so it is ruled out.
Mercedes offer very few cars as 4-matics, and are losing out to Audi and now BMW, who both do so.
Another good contender is the Alpine D3 x-drive touring, but rare and expensive.
Actually the Golf R32 Estate might be the answer...just need to drive one. Unfortunately I've not found a UK dealer with a R32 demmo car.
