Golf R Estate mk7.5 OR BMW E91 + Porsche Boxter

[jamesatk]

As the title suggests... Pros and cons please? I currently run an F30 320d Sport. Totally unsuitable for the dog and house work and impending family. I also now work from home so no need for the economy, which was the initial driver for the 20d

If the E91 is a 6er that would be my choice.

That's the problem though... One car that does it all or two cars that are potentially more rewarding in their own way but also potentially more ruinous...

I run 2, 1 is a 996.

My Ex has an E90 330i so we had a great combo for a while!

The 320 touring is not brilliant for a young family the boot isn’t that big and it’s harder to get in and out than the golf.

However it is doable and this is pistonheads, obvs a rwd bmw and a Porsche wins!

I'd go with scenario 2 it makes more sense.

Two are better than one. I run a 3.0 XF Sportbreak & a 2.0 MX-5 ND which cover both bases, the Jaguar is a lovely place to be & quick enough, but am now thinking of changing it for a high spec early Disco Sport. Problem with the Jaguar is it spells middle aged accountant... which I am but don't want to carry that baggage. MX-5 as we know on PH is simply the best car ever (with the exception of a 335D Touring)

E91 335i.... 300 ponies, rear wheel drive.

Boot is fine for my needs, e.g. lugging kids stuff about. Buggy could fit in the back depending on model of buggy. Can always stack high too. Think a buggy and dog would be a squeeze, just as the dog would probably would be on top of the buggy.

Split tailgate is brilliant addition to the car. I have 2 kids in the back, with my eldest sitting behind me and she’s got plenty of room (I’m quite long legged too).

I’ve not had any issues getting them in and out. Previous owner had a rear facing baby seat in there, and he had no issues space wise.
