As the title really - I'm after a new diesel estate to replace my "sensible car".

We currently have a Volvo V70 Turbo SE - beautiful car with only 100k and in good nick apart from a dribble from the sump. I'm fed up with cleaning my drive and apparenly, to change the sump gasket means taking the engine out!!! I'm not prepared to spend so what is likely to be a small fortune.

So, I'm in the market for.........

Estate
Diesel (probably)
Good MPG
Decent Power
Sporty Looks
Cheap Road Tax
Suitable for 6'5" driver
Lots of goodies
Reliability

I'd love the RS4 Audi but it's not really in my league.

Your thoughts please?

I am not selling my Disco or Series 1 (unless I get an offer I can't refuse)!

wvanman:
RS4   yes please           (if and when i win the lottery)                  well how about a VW Passat TDI ?   I have one borrowed to me from my local garage whilst im having faults fixed on my galaxy    and these things are nice cars    its 1.9 TDI estate   and roomy   comfy    and im putting in £15 in diesel    and it giving me 160+ miles to that money (diesel here is £1.02 a litre)     I am thinking of buying one now .   Mark

Thanks for the suggestion. Nipped out to see a couple in Swanick/Eastleigh. Tidy looking motor and quite tall (good headroom for me) compared to others.

Definately one to watch.

I run a skoda octavia estate 1.9 DT. It's brilliant.

Don't be put off by the green badge, they are all VW/ Audi under the bonnet. It is just the internal refinement that changes. Ask my local plod,  :police: they use the Octavia VR as an unmarked car!

If you go to the dealer, they ask whether the part is for skoda - VW or Audi, as they often have 3 different prices for the same part. The engine i bomb proof and i get 45 mpg around town, 60-70mpg on a run (straight up honest) Done 92k.

Road tax is £120, climate CD changer - all the toys I need.

You can't run it on veg oil unfortunately

Hope this helps
