Which 4x4 or Estate with 250bhp+ 2007+?

[gaz1234]

Looking at the newer s4, bmw 335d (not overly impressed), x5..
Needs to have big boot. 30mpg.

Suggestions.

Audi Allroad!

I've just bought a Legacy 3.0R Spec B. Very impressed so far!

[billzeebub]

Legacy

[Mr E]

E class is about as big as estates get

Yeti 1.8T with mods & remap?

Apparently 300bhp is possible. Great sleeper!

Don't know what petrol engines they do in a 2007 On Allroad but the 2005 2.7 T comes with 250 brake as standard.

£80 remap to 275bhp if the 250 isn't enough...

ETA: Cock, not 2007 plus but you get the idea!

[kiethton]

you don't like the 335d - how about the 535d?

E350cdi?

V70 T6?

Hmmm...just bought this "newer" 4x4 estate, 260 bhp, October 2012, £20k (that's the same as a 17k budget in bloke terms), very large boot, many toys, 7.5k miles, "as new", quite a brilliant thing...not many about. Think it ticks all your boxes though...??

Spec is here

cant get away from the badge..

[guy10]

I know...I know...never thought I'd see myself buying a....you know....certainly not an estate. I think it comes with age (47 in my case....it creeps up on you)

You do know it "sounds like a ....." no, you've probably seen that on tv...

I had my first estate at about 20. Looking at my fourth now.

You get a better type of person in a wagon...

Plus LPG install.

Plus a huge amount of change from 17K (say 50%)

V10 Toureg?

Over 300 bhp, 500 lbft of torque.

Couldn't agree more Mr N. We are on our fourth small, quick estate and I would really struggle to be without one. I promised the OH a dog with the first one - we seem to have kept with the estate but still don't have a dog.

Do they put that engine and drivetrain in anything a bit smaller?

[jdwoodbury]

B7 RS4 Avant....possible in budget and can do 27mpg downhill.
