Which Large Estate?

A4?

good build quality, depreciation not too bad, available with big & little diesels and a wide range of petrol engines (if you want close to supercar performance try the S4 or RS4)

You could also consider getting one of the four wheel drive versions (Quattro), nice and safe when the weather is bad and I think available with most engine choices

Have to agree as regards citroen,although we have only had one for just over a year,we have had no problems,my neighbour has had citroens for about 8 years and i cant remember them ever going into the dealer for anything other than servicing.

Funny enough..all my family work in the motor trade, and I could fill a book with the faults on them.

In fact, my neighbour in my old house, was involved in a rather heated debate with Citroen last year about taking his Picasso back. Something about the fact it kept breaking down all the time. Not good on a brand new car at all.

Still, I dont do !!!!ing contests, so you pay you money, you take your choice. Be lucky.:beer:

Hi Gingerdad

my suggestion for C5 estate came for 3 reasons

2nd hand they're dirt cheap (although I now realise that leasing in your thing.
They're huge.
My MIL has had 3 years of hassle free motoring from her C5 saloon. (it sounds like she is in the minority).


I don't know what the leasing rates are like - but a Vectra or Accord or both 'Large' in the Estate department.

Yep works paying, the sales manager for the printers we use has just got an accord, it looks good will see what we can get.

but wouldn't get any vauxhall as the local dealer is crap we have had no service from them with any of our vans. so have moved them to the renault version

I wouldn't buy a wheelbarrow from Garhreaves !!

The only downer with the accord may be the leasing costs - the list price is high, but the lower depreciation rate may offset this.

Have you considered a Toyota Avensis estate.

I would go for an Audi Avant, their great cars in their hatchback and saloon styles along with the reliability of a German engine and workmanship.

I was thinking of getting an Audi Allroad.
Has anyone had one of these? Have heard the repair costs can be high!

gingerdad

Don't think i could stretch to an allroad, the thought would be nice.
