Change of car

Haven't been near an estate car in sometime now. Looking to spend up to 10k and looking for folk opinions?

Needs to have decent MPG, but still good power and a little fun to drive.

    I've got the vRS petrol Octavia estate and the mpg depends on the enthusiasm of the driver. On a long trip with gentle driving I have seen 40mpg, but with the right conditions and a heavy right foot it can be a lot less (mid 20s mpg on short fast journeys).

    It's a great car and I love mine, decent power, good selection of bells and whistles and a very decent turn of pace. I only do 5k per year so fuel costs not a big deal.
