Hi Folks;
We could soon be after a good AWD estate car, would prefer to buy new or an ex demo, maybe a year to 18 months old if it's mint (wifes criteria
).
It must have a good amount of space for pram, car seat shopping etc. Not huuuuuge though, something mid sized (Volvo V70 would be a bit big if that helps).
Budget will be around £20k.
It's not the demographic of car I usually look at so I'm looking for some informed inspiration please
Cheers,
Hip

I like the scooby legacy (I used to have an old one too) 
My wife doesn't like any of the recent/current range of scobbies though
The Octavia and the Audi are both a good call. Maybe an A4 for extra space but is there a Haldex version without getting a fire breathing model?
Would like a diesel if poss!
How about Volvo, what in the range is AWD (I love V70's). Had a hire car V70 for 3 weeks 3 yrs ago and it was the 2.5 Diesel turbo, brilliant car!

Dont think you are going to make the newness part on an A4 quattro estate.

We could possibly stretch to £23k.
Then if we spend that much, we could pick up a brand new top of the range 4WD Sportage with all the goodies and leather. The new one looks a brilliant car, I had a nose around one the other week.
But we currently have a 2008 Qashqai which we may be looking to change and the new sportage will only be a little bigger inside, hence we are considering an estate car.
The Octavia you posted above is perfect (IMHO), just would like to have leather too.
