Suggestions for a fast estate

LandyAndy

I like estates. I'm quite fancying one of these.

All far too sensible suggestions. What you really want is this:

321bhp
0-60 6.6s
162mph
£27k
'Interesting' depreciation...

I am no petrol head but the Octavia vRS has a 100 less horses but it's 0-62mph is only 0.2 seconds less than the Vauxhall. Not exactly sure how that all works out (more weight, bigger car etc...).

I've only driven an Insignia diesel and it was a horrible car, plasticy and not nice to drive. I would assume the VXR model is a big step up from that but I would be looking at a new Skoda or a second hand Merc or Audi personally.

I like this..

400bhp and quite plain to look at.

I'd be tempted to rebadge it as a 520d...

Far too sensible

Why not go for the full size version.

670bhp

0-60 under 4.5s

6.2l V8 :beer:

£26,000

VXR has the same dashboard as my lowly 160 diesel insignia. (all bar a different steering wheel, gearknob and front seats)

Is a Vauxbore Insignificant actually what anyone really wants?

Would you not consider a 535D Touring?
Yes diesel but unbelievable performance (get it tuned by DMS) and reasonable economy.

Dave.

Was gonna be my suggestion before seeing petrol as only option.
What are the latest, around 300bhp?
Shame we don't get the triple turbo.
