I need your car configurator skills, Oppo. My dad is thinking about selling his 2012 Volvo XC70 for something else. I have a good idea on what cars to recommend him (more suggestions are welcome), but I figured you lot would know how to specifically spec them for the best value.

A bit of criteria;

- Must be from a Canadian website. We get different packages from the US.

- The longer the warranty, the better. Free scheduled maintenance is a bonus.

- Budget between $45k and $75k CDN (which is about 12 cents US, right now). His automotive preference is, ‘luxury without hopeless handling.’

- Reliability is important. He drove 120,000kms in the last 2 years.

- Wagons > SUV/CUV > Sedans. Coupes aren’t possible, nor are convertibles. Gran Coupes accepted. He also prefers European cars.

- Must accommodate 2 large dogs.

- He’ll never use satnav, but parking sensors and a camera are a bonus.

What I’ve recommended (but haven’t spec’d);

- BMW F31 328xd or xi, pre-LCI will be discounted.

- Volvo XC90 T6

- Volvo V60 (Cross Country, maybe)

- Porsche Macan S

- Land Rover Discovery (I don’t know anything about this one. Not one of my recommendations, but he liked it in person.)

- BMW 428i/435i Gran Coupe

V12 Zagato for your time.

XC90 better than V60 (probably too small for 2 big dogs in the back). Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna. Restored 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Mercedes E-class Wagon or BMW 5-series wagon if you guys get it.

Of your choices, it depends: is he enthusiast or just a regular guy who wants a nice car? If the former, Macan, if the latter, XC90.
