• Merc is the facelift/refresh version of the one my mum had, but that is generally considered to be a surprisingly decent C Class. Also same shape/generation as @Dammit 's AMG.

    I found it extremely comfortable on long journeys and one thing that makes or breaks a long journey car is elbow/arm comfort. The centre and door arm rests on that gen C Class are next level.

    The Honda and Toyota will go forever, the Accord is quite a rare car so you might be able to get a decent deal since there aren't many about.

  • I had one of those Accord tourers in diesel format. MASSIVE boot, nice to drive and so so comfortable seats. I did 400 miles in about 6 hours from Barcelona to Santander on empty toll motorways and it was an absolute pelasure. ABS unit AND the steering rack both expensively shat themselves in my ownership though so much vaunted Honda reliability was sadly absent
