We deliberated long and hard for this category and had our money on the Audi A6 bi-turbo. If not for its gargantuan space and interior build quality then definitely for the 650Nm of torque under the bonnet.

Alas, the Mercedes-Benz CLS350 shot forward by a whisker before our votes closed and edged ahead of the Audi. We loved the CLS350 for its elegant styling coupled with a rather capable chassis that gave us much driving pleasure and enough space to make a worthwhile trip to IKEA.
