Re: Another recommend me a car thread...
E34 525/535 touring (estate) with a tow bar, not many 'cool points' but very few common faults, the 3.5 is grunty but 2.5 24v offers up 190bhp and the best economy.
Volvo 850 is another contender. Note, No French offerings being mentioned so far... There is a good reason for that... Last edited by Stonesie; 29-09-10 at 07:43 PM. |

Re: Another recommend me a car thread...
As the owner of a French car I'd suggest not buying one.
As the occasional driver of one, Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi is a bloody good car. |

Re: Another recommend me a car thread...
Mondeo Estate
Pug 406 / 407 5 series BMW as mentioned, also Volvo 850 is a good call to. Theres plenty of volvo 940's in your budget, but they are hideous, but mahoosive inside. A quick search on auto trader shows you'd be able to pick up a diesel passat estate in your budget to, so that or an Octavia is probably what I'd plump for...
