10k, one or two cars, all family needs.

Missus, two kids and a dog. Only 6/7,000 miles a year but urban and fuel is a consideration, all be it one I'm willing to compromise on so...

Do I get the fastest estate I can afford in budget (535d, 545i, S4 other) or get two cars atm an MGZT estate snotter looks great value with a E46 M3 cab as my weekender or occasional school runner if I'm feeling saucy.

Two cars mean two insurances, two taxes (both will be pre 2005) and two MOTs. One car means a bit of a fuel saving and I maintain the condition of my decent car for alot longer.

What do you think, plus any other two car combos and will a limited mileage on both save me on the insurance?

My initial thought was Volvo V70R maybe 04/05 plate 300bhp standard but fuel consumption would be 25mpg at best.

As a 2 car option what about Honda CRV diesel 06 plate (older style, better looking IMHO) for 6 or 7K, leaving 3-4K for a new weekender?

Feeling saucy on the schoolrun eh? Something you want to tell us?

Only joking, i'd go the one car route personally, like you suggest already, a fast estate.
