Good luck with the Tesla if it aver materialises!
Like you I like German estate cars and not attracted by SUVs but I parted with my 16 month old A6 Avant quatro black ed for a 250d. so 6 weeks and 1100 miles later I'm very happy with it. OK it doesn't corner as flat as the A6 and the boot is very small by comparison but my views on SUVs have changed. If I want some fun on the country roads I can always take out the wifes' Mini for a spin, just road testing it of course!
I looked hard at the competitors from Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Landrover but with the exception of the new Range Rover Vellar which I couldn't afford except in very basic form the GLC stood out for me as the better overall package and now I've sorted the mudflaps issue I'm pleased.
Had it not been fitted with all season tyres I'd have bought winter wheels as well, as I have done in the past but I've always gone for aftermarket alloys as they get hammered during the bad weather and you can buy 2 or 3 sets for the price of OEM wheels.
I love the intelligent headlights now I've got used to them but still haven't had the courage to try the self parking LOL
