Another what car thread. Sorry.

Basically, I am looking for a car and I'd like some ideas. I want a large, reliable estate with a few luxuries and reasonable performance for around the 5-6k mark. I've seen a few Passat's and Mondeo's but was wondering about any other options. Any suggestions would be most welcome, thanks in advance.
