Sleeper car

I drive a Ford Mondeo, but I am now having to drive long distances. A more restful car to drive would be welcome. Would a Mercedes C-Class fill the bill or should I consider a BMW 5 series or a Jaguar XF 2.2d.

The Jag on 16” or 17” wheels would not be a bad choice. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/jaguar/jaguar-xf-2.../
