@Buc84: the Jaguar has uncomfortable seats? Hmm.
When my Opel Omega will getting broken, I would like to have one of these big cars as next one.
The main reason is the comfort. I like the "grandfather-sofa-style" and not lowered "sportive" cars with a hard suspension.
And you can drive more relaxed with a big car than with a smaller one. It may sounds strange, but it's easy to see on the German Autobahn. If a big car is coming, even it's not driving fast or aggressive, the other drivers make the left lane free for it.
If there is a small car, you will easily think "What's up, fucking Polo/Corsa/Fiesta/Clio (etc.)? The left lane is not your place!"
And annother reason for buying an older used big car is, that often they are cheaper than smaller cars with the same age and mileage. Surely, the running costs (garage! spare parts!) are higher, sometimes (but not always) the fuel consumption, too, but you will get more car for the same money.
A VW Phaeton would be a good choice. It's not very popular, so the prices for used Phaeton's are ridiculous, compared with the price for a brand new one. The time will come, when an old Phaeton will be cheaper than a same-aged Golf!
