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??
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?
Hi cheempeej.might be miles off here.just thought id mention,i just got back now.borrowed my dads volvo v70 estate turbo diesel to take my staffi up to bristol vets.very surprised lovely car really and 41 mpg so not bad on fuel either! That was on a 350 mile round trip
Sorry.just sorting dog out cheempeej.my ol man just got the car.its not new .06 plate v70 estate 84k. Think he paid around 6k. Its a 2.5 turbo diesel.i just thought it was a nice car to drive and very economical,at the same time its quite quick for what it is.
The 110 passat will be slow. You dont need bluemotion for good mpg, the wifes golf+ is 140bhp and got 62 mpg on the trip computer on a recent journey to London.
Well that old van in 7 years has about £300 in repair bills in that time and only broke down twice. Think the last time it was serviced was 3 years ago. 96k on the clock so I've got my money's worth so far. Have a look there cheap. Mines a 2001 model
I have the 2007 170 passat estate its a really nice car with lots of torque, fuel efficiency around town is roughly 35-40 as its so heavy but it eats motorways, if your doing a decent mix of both you can easily get 45mpg combined.
My dad has run octavias for the last 13 years as his taxi... Only time he had a problem was with the 2007 one where clutch plate welded itself together reason not known other than that they have all been 300k+ motors if he takes it to the motorway he claims upto 60mpg the things just seem to never stop running! He likes to change every 3 years but can't justify the sale price on a 300k motor that in mint condition!
