Considered FR but pointless having 2 hatches.

Passat R-line is on the list. Never owned a Vauxhall have no intention either, You swear by your van Raiden?

One off a people carrier mate ;-) loads of choice though. On the volvo front i've found them great, drove a few xc90s but never an estate. Keeping the mkiv still I hope??

The front grille on that just made me sick!

The front grille on that just made me sick!

I know?!?! It looks as though its on upside down?

Just for the record IT IS NOT in the consideration pile

 

[DaveyR32]

As per the other thread dude, the diesel golf estate I have coming has everything but sat nav (leather heated seats etc) and was just above 9k. We also got my wife a high spec golf plus - which I think is an excellent little family motor for less. Were you thinking of a particular make/model?

Sounds a good buy!

Leaning German not Seat or Skoda, also looking at a Jag but pretty dead at 128bhp.

Passat R-line 110 seems a good choice (with the obligatory map of course)

Good to hear! I'd personally go down the BMW route always had a soft spot for their estates.
