Fun estate for not much cash
Discussion
I'm getting an urge to change my car. The XC70 has been fantastic but ultimately its an XC70...
I keep looking at Autotrader but just cannot find anything that offers as much to replace it with.
Criteria as follows:
Estate (or something with a good amount of room for dogs etc. I do quite like fast estates however)
Petrol (ideally)
Auto - with flappy paddles (ideally)
Not much older than my current car (07)
Not prone to rot (see shonkey Impreza)
Not £550+ a year to tax
Couldn't care less if FWD, RWD or AWD
Enjoyable to drive (and look at)
Not awful ride quality
I quite fancy something Japanese
Budget 4k (but ideally less)
What have I considered?
Subaru Legacy SpecB (seem to be in the higher tax bracket)
Volvo V70R (had one of these, prices are mostly too high now)
159 V6 Estate (bit on the small side and manual mostly and high tax)
What else should I be considering?
