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)

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:

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

540i :thumbsup

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)

At that mileage I'd be looking for something with a big V8 under the bonnet :) Older E class AMG :thumbsup
