Thanks clubsport and davidy for the replys. 
As Davidy, we ( ahum well just me - wife not fussed about cars) are considering Volvo V70 or the smaller estate, A4 avant and A6 avant, Saab 9-5 estate and Leguna estate.
Not so keen on the Leguna as from its country of origin and residuals.
Did consider the A4 avant but then thought we wmay well need a bigger version. We had a Impeza Turbo estate which was fab but may not be big enough, so A6 avant and saab 95 estate and volvo.
Front runners are Audi and Saab. Saab comes in at excellent value for a 1 year old model and might even get a Hot areo
but the audi has a bit more cludos (sp)

excellent replys, thank you.
The car is more for Mrs SuperlightR although I would drive it on camping hols and other occasions.
The Saab for the price and kit is looking very good, will have to drive a few to get a feel of them and the Audis.
ps
There is a RS4 avant on the clasified but (trying not to offend anyone) 38k for a 2 year old car is rather expensive is it not? Gulp!

BMW is out for me as had a very bad experience with a BMW. I think the subaru is going to be too small, but Ive had a scooby est before and loved it, so not ruled out.
The A6 is being replaced sometime soon, as is the 9-5 estate. Wife thinks the 9-5 is too big - also depreciation is worring.
Merc c estate maybee a good option or e class (old shape).
It looks like we will have to change about October time now, so we will see. Dont really want to spend more then 20k to 22k. The car will be kept for a min of 4-5 years but low miles under 6k a year.
So a 1 year old car looks the best bet. You know the dillema: £ -v wife -v- speed/fun for me -v- practicality of bigish estate -v- long term.
I have a porker for me, but not too fussed to have a slow estate for hols, but if I can i would like something with a bit of poke. but the scooby estate as mentioned is 80% going to be too small. The new legacy looks good but I understand the fast version wont be here for quite some time?
