Needs to be roomy and nippy. Petrol or diesel, but not too bad on fuel (no v8's or v6 turbos lol)

Thinking seat ibiza cupra r or the diesel FR ?

Audi estate ?

Or a jap motor ...

Anything considered and does anyone know of owt ?

Cheers

Honda Jazz, seats 5 and very versatile, good on fuel and very very reliable, we have one and will buy another when needed

Skoda Octy Est - big ass boot, nippy enough (I'm not sure if you can get a VRS in the estate version) and if you get one from about 2004 or older in 1.9tdi form then you'll be able to run it on veggy like the Terrano.

Up side is it's all VAG so generally pretty reliable, only downside is the need to change the stoopid rubber band every 4-5 years, but many motors suffer this lunacy!

Apart from the fuel comment, how about a 3.0 T2?
