Performance Estate??

[taylor8]

Looking at recommendations for a Performance estate 2009 onwards can be diesel or Petrol, budget is between 20k-25k but closer to 20 the better, and would be good it it was 4x4 or awd something like that.

Thanks in adavance

Some kind of Skoda octavia, a vrs or the outdoor version (think that's what it's called)

[roofer]

M5, if you're going to do it, do it properly HTH.

[kiethton]

Focus ST?

May even get one new for budget...other than that the Octavia VRS is hard to beat

Audi S4 B8 avant, 340hp standard, stage one 450hp, 490hp stage two, proper torsen 4wd, q car heaven.

Not in thread budget (there are 3, one Cat D and the other 2 with mega miles)

Rs6 and M5 nice but MPG is awful, thanks for all the suggestions

[taylor8]

S4 looks a good option

[Luke.]

535D 0-60 in 5.9

[Vladimir]

+1 for the S4.
If 4wd not essential then maybe a 335i Touring.

[FamilyDub]

C63 estate and some decent winter tyres?

So are you looking at max 309bhp really as above that - very generally - mpg does plummet.

[taylor8]

looking for average of around 25mpg nothing less, last few cars have all been around that

[Axionknight]

A Volvo V60 T6, out of the showroom they really, really depreciated, so you could get a decent example for a reasonable price, automatic only but they engine pulls very well and the are AWD. They are probably a bit of a dull drive when REALLY pressing on, competent though - and they can be remapped for even more oomph.

Jag XF shooting brake R the 5.0 V8 supercharged it averages 28mpg. My boss drives a Jag with that engine and if really does it in combined driving and more on M ways his is 560odd bhp it sounds stunning
