Spec me a Performance/Economical Estate

[Kingdom34]

Hi All

Looking for a fine balance between performance and economy.
2010+
Budget around £13k
MPG - 40+ on long journeys, 35+ on my commute (15-20miles one way)
Sat Nav, Parking sensors a must
Boot above 450L

Looking at
Audi A4 Avant 1.8 TFSI S Line
BMW 3 Series Touring
Merc C Class
SEAT Leon FR Estate

Not interested in Fords or Diesel.

Anyone have opinions or experiences with the above?

Thanks in advance

Just edited the original post. I knew when I re-wrote it (computer crashed) I missed out 2 points - No Ford or Diesels.

Škoda?
I know they do an Octavia estate and, based on my old 2003 hatchback, I'd reckon newer models would tick all boxes.
My 1.9TDi hatch gets 37+mpg just on town journeys, with 58-74mpg on happy distance jaunts and that's without me even trying.
New ones have satnav and even my old one has parking sensors.
My boot is something like 520L, so an estate will be more.

It's probably somewhere between the SEAT and the Audi, but it's something to consider.
You might also find something likeable from Volvo...

Volvo and Skoda Octavia are options. Ive heard good things about both brands. But id be wanting Petrol

Performance AND economy? 40mpg will always be difficult in a performance car unless it's something small and light.

The cars your looking at are really heavy, so unless it's something with 300hp+ it will be slow. Might as well go full on economy and get extra luxuries.

Suggestions with Luxury then and economy?
