Sprightly mid-sized estate - Around £4k to 6k
Discussion
Hi everyone,
Need to move up a size from my Clio 200, and would like a bit better comfort / amenities.
Have considered a larger warm hatchback but am wondering what estates are around that suit?
Car will be daily driven. Mostly short journeys but at least one good motorway stretch a week.
Don't mind petrol or diesel. Prefer manual but would be happy with a well-behaved auto.
Have been looking at Volvo V50 T5 or D5 but have recently been thinking of stretching the budget a little for a Mercedes C320CDI.
Any thoughts on which direction to take or other options?
Preferences are less than 8 to 60, reasonable mpg, and low chances of a big bill.
Cheers

I'd point you at the advert for my Scoobie Legacy GT, which ticks at least two out of three boxes: comfortably sub-7 sec 0-60 and not likely to throw massive bills so long as you leave it stock and keep up the regular servicing... but I'm not sure what you'd call "reasonable" mpg... mid-20s overall for most people, low 30s on a run.
It certainly fits your title though

With that suspension, every other estate car is totally lacking. Need more power then they can be remapped with good results.
