I'm looking for an estate car that I can use to lug things around in, put the dog in and use to drive daily to work (12 miles on country roads). I want it to still be a fun car to use (I'm currently in the mini).

V70 T5, just make sure the front suspension has been replaced or factor it in at that price bracket |

now I'm not a BMW lover but you'd get a good 3 series touring for that sort of cash or a 1.8T A4 (assume the bigger engines may be a bit thirsty) 1.8 can map up well |

Get a 190 if you get a 1.8t as they have a bigger turbo. Don't expect more than 220 from a map though. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

The 3l turbo diesel 3 series tourers are really good engines, really powerful and good on fuel. A mate of mine has had two and forever giving it stick whilst putting loads of miles on for work. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

There's a very good reason why the 330 petrol only has 100k on it and that will be the amount of fuel it will use! Think very carefully is my advice!

I love my mondeo, but not nearly as much as my old Subaru legacy spec b. If you're happy with less than 30mpg they're great.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Tom makes a good shout on the 130 PD Quattro. The 1.9 is an easy engine to drive quickly and our gerts 1.8t 190 quattro sticks like shit to a blanket If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
