P2 V70 all day long. Mine did 35mpg fully loaded with a caravan you barely knew was on the back.

For what we needed it for it for, a uni shuttle, it was a fine car. Not being a sensitive flower like you I'm not really bothered about what it may or not have said about me.
It was a 2007 mk2 so didn't scream council estate poverty if that's what you're getting at.

E Class estate , the biggest estate you’ve been able to buy since the 940/60 went out of production and they’ve all got self levelling or air suspension on the back. Cheap to run because there’s loads of cheap pattern parts available . A 4 cylinder diesel is probably the best compromise , but the 5 pot and V6 diesels ( depending on age budget ) would no doubt pull like Gordon The Big Engine.
