£10k-£12k for a family car/jeep

[Chris Mac]

Still no further on with this, seem to be spending hours on usedcars/autotrader and getting nowhere!

Tiguan is ideal but a lack of boot space worries me abit..

 

[G Mac]

I'd this problem too, needing a jeep for kid an for work with me, was all set on an x5, rrs q7 etc til I heard all the normal horror stories, I ended up buying an amarok for business use and bik benefits but id say a tiguan is very similar inside an engine wise so I definitely recommend that!!

Boots in the Jetta/Passat are huge. Able to get a buggy and a full weeks shopping in them!

Octavia vRS though would be were my money would go!

 

[pablo]

nice A4? Even a B7 S4 if fuel isn't an issue

 

[gazvtr]

Same situation as you atm but mine is between b8 tdi sline or 330d,335d msport saloons only

 

[pablo]

Actually Passat cc would be a great choice.

 

[gixermark]

I spend months looking... And drove some silly fast petrol cars as I don't do many miles..

Ended up with a VRS estate fully loaded... Handle great, lots of grunt.. I can't believe how easy in fuel it is! Looks good, and carries LOTS of sh!t in the huge boot

 

[Lyons]

VRS estate or Superb Estate would be my choice too.

SEAT Leon

Yeah, sell your golf and buy a golf in a cheap suit

Haha it was worth a shot. But to be fair 5 doors with 350bhp ... wouldnt be turning my nose up

 

[Lyons]

Leon boot opening is woeful for a buggy though.

To be fair I wasnt expecting him to drop everything and pick a Leon, but yea the boot is crap, however there is alot of room in them. Was more just putting in there as its fun to drive and still room for a family.

Id probably rather have an Avant or a Jeep myself if id kids on the way.

 

[Lyons]

Have you chosen a replacement yet yourself?

Absolutely not what he needs, but it's a lovely motor.

Offer them £10K

 

[davey21]

He d be better offering 2k and keeping 10k to fix it. Apparently they like staying in the garage.

 

[santoz]

I just bought this, huge boot for pram and window blinds in back for kid plus getting 50+ mpg up and down to Belfast and 170bhp to boot

 

[Woodcutter]

What about the previous shape of X3, with the 3.0d engine in M-Sport guise? Would you pick one of those up for £12k?

 

[Chris Mac]

#endthread car purchased last night, all will be revealed in good time

X3's are dung and the arse will fall out of then very soon with the new ones dropping

 

[Woodcutter]

I hope it's the Ssang Yong.

 

[Rocko]

Golf.

Hit the nail on the head Chopper!!
