Simple as the title of the post says, what is the ultimate estate car?

Mine would be:

Daily driveable
200bhp+
AWD
Sleeper look
(Not an Audi)

Can you guess the car?

Haha! spot on! I have never owned one, however, I have been speaking to owners for around a month now and I really want one, never had so many helpful responses as I did on the Subaru Legacy forums. Nearly drove one a few weeks ago however sadly it fell through. Just looking for the one I want to buy Currently. Its a Legacy or an E46 Touring 330i

My E500 got close.
Endless v8 woofle, air ride, loads of toys, massive capacity and looked like a minicab.

Very close, although the correct answer is:

Subaru Legacy Outback H6

BMW F11 M550d X-Drive Touring.

I have only ever seen one, on Swiss plates.

No RHD model produced.

Having had F10 530d’s I can well imagine what a competent and capable car one would be.

In its day, I agree. It took everything, and also had a tight turning circle

It that the triple turbo engine from the X5?

It's modern equivalents massively exceed the OP's requirements, with 350 bhp available on the V90 Recharge and I think a little bit less on the V60.

Then again a Skoda Superb also meets the OP's requirements and is possibly more sleeper than a Legacy

I've never been a big fan of sporty estates. Enough power to keep up without throwing the dog around and plush suspension with self levelling is all you need.
