Hi Guys,
Newbie here but looking for some advice. I've had 2 legacy spec B's in a row now and superb cars but thinking of a change. I've LPG converted
both and have no issues in around 120,000 miles of driving so (shield myself from flames) am looking for a quick petrol estate or small 4x4.

I've about 17k to spend and looking for something understated, have a small business and don't want to look like a flash git. Therefore M%/merc etc all out

I could get away with an audi but reliability of RS4 a bit of a concern as have been used to hassle free motoring.

Any suggestions?

There's a nice white STI at Kent Cars which may be worth a look.

I have an LPG converted '05 spec B too and face the same dilemma. Can't seem to find anything with the same balance of power, comfort and low running costs. They're such brilliant and capable cars thumbup. I'll be watching this thread with interest (although my budget is nowhere near yours!).

To be honest am open to suggestions, deep sown would love a Jag XF SV8 but cant face the 'ooh someones doing well' type
comments, even if not much more than mondeo money!

V70R an interesting option, will have a look. Thanks for the suggestions guys and keep them coming.
