Discussion
Hi,
You might have read another topic about the Peugeot 4007, but I have been told its crap. So here I am asking this, whats the best 2 litre diesel estate car?
Criteria
-6 years of age max
- £7k max
-70k miles max
-45+ MPG
-Big enough to fit a family of 5
-2 litre or bigger engine
Thanks!

Depends how big the kids are, Octavia is probably about the bottom end of your size requirements. Fits 4 adults in comfort, 5 is reasonably comfortable, and has a decent sized boot, but if you're looking at booster seats or child seats then it might be a bit cramped in the back. I've averaged about 47mpg over several years in my vRS, and regularly get mid 50's on longer journeys.
I shall check 'em out. What are they like to drive?RizzoTheRat said:
Road noise is a bit more noticeable than more "premium" cars, but the CR170 ('59 plate onwards, I've not driven the older PD170) is pretty smooth, handles reasonably well, and the vRS comes with comfy seats and most of the toys. Door seal leaks tend to be quite common (get the occasional drip from the top in really heavy rain), but other than a problem caused by a bad dealer service (leaking fuel filter caused some follow on issues) I've had no trouble in 105k miles. Plenty of companies will remap them them to 200ish bhp (Shark Performance get a lot of love on Briskoda.net) but I've never bothered.
The door seal leaks have put me ever so slightly off.RizzoTheRat said:
It's fking annoying but I don't get it that often. I tend to give the seals a clean and wipe with some silicone grease and it stops doing it. If I could be bothered to replace the door seals that would probably fix it.
bet it is. I'm tempted by the Pug 508 Station Wagon.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
