Time has finally come (well two weeks) that the familly are getting a derv estate. Passat sized.
Mum wants to spend round 6ish but I reckon they'd push for 8.
Don't want any more then 60k miles. Dad wants a Passat or an Audi although I've been put off with Adam's issues.
Then a Honda accord 2.2 Estate popped up, what are they like size wise? Probably pretty damned bombproof, no?
What would you get? :smiley:

Skoda Octavia vRS 170TDI estate.

The Honda accord is a good choice, my ex's stepdad has one, economical, reliable, loads of room in the front, not too bad in the back, the only problem I have with it is the ride isn't brilliant and the seating position somehow just doesn't feel quite right.

My old man drives a 2005 Mondeo estate with the 2.2l Duratorq engine. It's pretty swift, good on fuel and looks nice (for a mondeo :laugh:)
You can pick one up for around £4k within your requirements.

Go to the Audi dealership and ask them for Audi Intellegence Driving Systems. Of course you don't want to sound like a douche so you should abbreviate it :smiley:

^Oi !
I like my Octavia.
For price comparison, my 2007 Octavia estate was under £6k with 40k on the clock. I found it quite tricky to find a decent diesel Octavia with decent miles around that price. So for £8k you should be able to find one. I plumped for the petrol 1.6 FSI engine instead. Very good on petrol, can very easily get 40mpg.

Honda is a nice car, we have one as a pool car at work.
Like all modern cars they are cheap to run until something goes wrong, get a warranty

Old boy has one from new, cracking all rounder in standard form and I enjoy driving when the opportunity presents. You almost hope to get stuck behind slow moving traffic on B-roads so you can overtake with ease. If driven sensibly you can even get decent mpg I've heard :wink:
Just watch out for EGR valve issues... :lipsrsealed:
