They do the Skoda Superb estate with this engine, 4x4 and DSG - Pretty rare, but a bit of a Q car with 260bhp.

Only one I could find on AT:

Lynda has the E91 Touring which is a great car if not particularly big, especially for 2 dogs in the boot! We have had it for 3.5 years which is pretty impressive for me :lol:

Focus ST Estate? Again not that big. (Diesel version also available now)

The superb estate looks to me to be a heck of a lot of car for the Money

You could have a 55 and a lot of petrol money for that though.

Yup I have an E91 - good car in many ways, but I'd have thought too small in the back for 2 dogs. F11 BMWs are still pretty pricey, but what about an E61 535d? You could get a good 50k mile 535d msport for around £15k, eg http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

I wasn't meaning that one. Just in general.

I just want everyone to buy every 55 and 63 out there to stop me pouring over them.

I do like those, I was just told to avoid Diesels and Autos.

I also only do about 5k miles a year so not that bothered about MPG

Would struggle to see post the 335i tbh, but actually quite like the new Octavia vrs... Should have more space in the boot too.

/very bored in an airport.
Focus it a bit chav/man racer for me.

VXR :thumbsup and its 4x4 (don't quote the above please)
