An Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI was probably one of the first cars to spring to mind. However I think I need to keep my options open and review other manufacturers that I'm probably overlooking.
It looks like performance vs fuel economy will be a tough battle. I've been getting 65mpg from my Clio 1.5 dci, I think anything <30 mpg is not going to be attractive.
I'm also coming around to the idea that cost of motoring is largely affected by pot holes, so whilst I will still try to avoid them - a car which is less affected by pot holes would be a bonus. Not sure how the A6 fairs here..
I don't think I want a large 4x4 type vehicle, I probably don't even need the size of the A6 Avant - no family, just I like the look and I liked the comfort of my 10 year old A6 when I had it.
I googled "good car for potholes" and the "top 10" list wasn't very appealing.

Most are what I call 4x4 type vehicles? SUV?
any thoughts? Wouldn't say I'm a fan of BMW, due to the stigma of the brand.
