Entertaining family car - £6k

[LincolnLovin]

Now I'm probably going to swap my 9-5 Aero saloon to an Aero estate but I wondered if there were any other cars I should consider?

An ST220 is very entertaining. You should get a decent later car in that budget.

156 GTA Sportwagon if you prefer a bit of POWER!!

[Grenoble]

Subaru Legacy Sports Tourer?

[T16OLE]

330 Touring

The legacy is a good shout

[300bhp/ton]

Guessing it's the estate part you are wanting??

MG ZT260 might just be in budget. And if it's just an "entertaining family car", then I still stand by the fact that a Defender 110 CSW is a brilliant family vehicle and great fun and thus entertaining.

B5 S4 Avant?

[LincolnLovin]

The MG 260 would be nice but the lack of isofix in the ZT-T is a no no from baby command.

Legacy or Impreza Turbo Wagons the way forward ( depending on how much space you need)..I am absoloutely besotted with my Forester Turbo

[JulesB]

Mazda MX5

[sash87]

Mazda 6 MPS

Probably newer than every other option that's been given
Probably faster too
4 wheel drive for when it snows
Lots of toys

What else do you need?

[Ash From Flux]

Yes. Audi S4 (Avant if necessary) - Great motor! And certainly 'fun'

[LincolnLovin]

MPS is lovely but erring towards an estate

S4 might be a tad leggy, will do some research

[s_zigmond]

Vectra VXR estate
Alfa 159 estate

[eltax91]

E61 5 series

Octavia VRS? 200bhp can easily become 235bhp for not a lot!
