Me too, I just dislike the inevitable haggle! And having spent the best part of 6 months in and out of dealers assessing every alternative vehicle that might suit our needs from E91 to Alfa 159,Passat A3/A4, Volvo, Merc C Class and Saab wagons - and even the new Commodore
, I'm already kind of "over it".
E91 wagon came closest BTW, but much smaller boot, lack of power (it's only available as 323i), and cost weigh heavily against it vs the $15k cheaper Suby's. Loved the look of the 159 too, but surprisingly the engines were a
major disappointment, unless you go for the absurdly overpriced AWD V6....Poor old Alfa - they come so close but never seem to get it
quite right!
