essentially I need a economical (50 mpg would be good) reliable (20k per year) biggish (small horse masquerading as our dog) diesel estate - i reckon I have with px around 8K to spend

the above seem good value but am I better off with an Ovlov or Octavia - something about being Northern prevents me buying a French car.


I promise I'll buy one soon and stop asking daft questions


its been a strange year I seem to have lost my motoring Mojo- I even bought an M3 when I should have bought a Cerbie

The E class looks a good bet. You should also get a newish X Type for that money, personally I thought the diesel drove better than the V6s; probably because the four wheel drive caused a little transmission shunt with a manual gearbox, the auto was fine.

Don't forget the Mondeo and Vectra, both huge estates and quite cheap. 9-5s do look good value though.

True it's got an image problem but not as bad as if you put the "dag" in the caravan pulled by a flat-bed Transit full of scrap copper cable...
