New estate car

Best of luck with it jigsaw. Keep er between the hedges.

Thinking of getting an estate next but the more I look in to it the more unsure I am. Of course I want the car to be reliable and spacious but I also want a bit of style and driving pleasure.

Been told to stay away from them, especially cars of high mileage. It's replacement the V60 looks the part but it's boot is barely bigger than a hatchbacks so not all that practical.

Too ott for me, don't know about Volkswagen though. My dad has just got a diesel Yeti 4x4 140bhp and it's only averaging in the high 30's mpg, expected more than that tbh.

Yeah his is a 16 plate, thought it would average better than 38-40mpg. He only does short runs though to work and such for the most part. Don't know about wind noise but it does make a lot of road noise, think it's the tyres.

I wasn’t running a high mileage one so I can’t speak for that pal 

however I do know I drove more miles in that car than ant motor I’ve had  , I put 80000 on it in 2 years and it never missed a beat. 

4 and a half hours Ipswich to Carlisle twice a weekend will do that and it was no slouch either . 

As for boot space ....I don’t know who told you that nonsense , I put a dog , a pram , a hiking grip and enough clothes make up shoes and fake tan to last most currock beaus a decade in that motor most weekends and never touched the gunnels
