Which performance estate?

[liner33]

Oh how I hate these what car threads !

I'm in the market for a performance estate , must be petrol as I don't do lots of miles , pref auto if it's a decent auto but manual ok as well , decent equipment levels as well , cruise, sat nav etc

Budget 30k ish , would love a Audi RS but budget wont get me there

Current ideas are

focus St
Octavia vrs
Superb 3.6 4x4

Anything I'm forgetting that's on par with these?

Audi S4 B8 Avant?

You'll get a F31 335i touring for just over 30k after discount or a 328i for around 25-27k.

Subaru Turbo, Legacy or Forester

I ditched my order for a new B8 RS4 for a new S4 when I smelt the coffee!

Having owned an RS6.

I'd look strongly at one of these.

Too old or too slow , £30k budget

Good call the s4 there is one at a local dealer for £33k

[Defcon5]

Does it have to be brand new?

You would have to be mad to blow 30k on a 2.0T Ford Focus

What's so good about the S4 compared to the B8 RS4?

More torque, the ability to get the same BHP for very little money, and £30,000 to spend on something else

Focus is £23k

Good call on BMW , will take a look at the specs on them

That's the one. Stunningly effective piece of gear.

I think it's a lot of car for the money the engine is strong and a decent chassis.

I have one, it's an excellent car and quite rare. Most petrols are a 320i.

A 335i was out of budget unfortunately, but it has more than enough go and respectable MPG, although not as advertised

I tried to convince my wife into a new one of these, but she couldn't see past the badge . So she ended up with a used Audi S4 B8, fantastic piece of kit!

No Mercs , had an E class before would rather stick hot pins in my eyes than have to deal with MB again
