A diesel, economical estate, what would you get?
« on: 15 March 2012, 23:59 »
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:

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

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.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

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:
