Estate or suv?

[lornemalvo]

I've just been through the same thought process. After six months of deliberation, determined to find something I liked and which hopefully would do everything (comfortable, practical, faitly economical, petrol engine, reasonable pace and handling and good refinement),, a few days ago I bought a b9 Audi estate 2.0 tfsi s tronic. It's early days but I did a six hour trip fetching it home. I am not disappointed.

This talk of reliable Cayenne's is having me heading to the classifieds.

How about a Lexus RX? 300/350/400h. Your budget would get a good one and they have a great reputation for reliability. I’ve recently got a 300SE-L for £2.5k and it’s a great car.

The legacy has grabbed my attention....

Although it looks like I want the 2.0gt twin scroll spec b, and as these are imports are thin on the ground.

Anyone know how the 3.0r stands up and the differences

I have the 3.0R in Outback guise. Solid as a rock, swift (but not nippy), lots of toys. Highly recommended. It runs about 250bhp, but quite lazy power delivery. Not a drivers cars IMHO, more like a fascist barge.
