3.0 litre V6 diesel... i dream of the day i can own a car like this... the saloon looks like something an American gang boss should drive... the pictures I've seen of the new version are horrible, they've took away everything that looks cool about this car... and it is enormous...

Honda Accord is a big estate car, especially the back end for your dogs... the diesel engine is pretty special, and it is built to last...

My husband's selling his 300C touring, it's black and the "facelift model". He loves it and it's very roomy inside, lots of smooth Mercedez Benz stuff under the bonnet, loads of equipment. His sluggish commute to work down the M1 returns about 35mpg. Possibly one of the best big luxury cars value for money wise.

NB husband is swapping beloved 300C for Mondeo Estate company car.

I think it's 5m long...and don't rely on the parking sensors.

audis tend to slope in a lot at the top unlike a volvo which remains box like

not sure about where the petrol tank is in a a4 estate but in the saloon its behind the rear seats which means you can fold them down and its damn annoying

The wheel sizes are out of proportion to the body.

It looks ugly to me.:)

Big wheels are good for our pothole ridden roads though!

I would consider the A6 estate. But make sure you go for the Quattro - this is 4 wheel drive and is excellent. It was a life saver this winter and just loved the icy roads! Great as a second car when you can't get your other off the drive!
