Estate cars

[NickR]

My current A6 Avant

And my old F31 which is now owned by @richie_mck

 

[Brennan]

Always thought an estate was an old persons car or a family car but after seeing some in this thread, I’ve a real want for a big Audi Avant now

 

[andy9eleven]

My old Allroad (190). Lovely car but my god was it dull to drive and hard on fuel.

my F11 5 series. love the auto gearbox in it

 

[collyirwin11]

I would love a fast estate, something appealing about them. May have posted these before, but my brothers old RS6 was great, looked like nothing special until you lifted the bonnet. Often mistaken as a diesel.

Started thinking about what I'd replace the Forester with and keep coming back to these, spend a few quid on top of purchase price and I'd have another rocket dog carrier as it's more or less a longer, heavier golf r

Prices haven't gone up that much. Looked at b6 rs4s before I got my legacy 7 years ago but got scared of the possibility of monumental maintenance costs

@collyirwin11 I wish mine got mistaken as a diesel lmao, it's confused a couple of people when it's been parked up, but as soon as she ticks over its unmistakable that she's petrol

Love estates.

Have had a few.... Loved my old a6 3.0 Quattro, have had an Octavia VRS for the past few years.. Wifey now pilots it as the family daily... I'd hate to have been without an estate car with kids..... Stuff for house etc... They just eat loads effortlessly. Plus dog, bikes... Towing..

My ideal estate would be an E6x M5, but never liked that box... Or I'd have one on the drive... An RS6 would be awesome, but I couldn't see me ever spending that on a road car..... Merc c or e63 probably a very good car too

Estates rock!!

Not sure about that. I was hoping I would soon be old enough to look good in a Mercedes E350 coupe.

Maintenance would be my biggest concern

That is lovely and I am sure it sounds amazing. With his, I have a vague recollection from a cars and coffee meet and people just thinking it was a diesel parked up in the corner, and it was only when the bonnet was lifted or some folk saw the brakes that they twigged. I would love the current RS6, but the v10 in yours would be the dream.

Been looking at these all week.. golf r estate was my first choice but these are much better suited and come out cheaper.

The current RS is a much more aggressive looking car and suits the nomenclature, however I was sad to see the downgrade to a V8, it's by far my favourite part of the car.

The C7 may be lighter and faster to 60 etc etc but it'll never be the Audi wagon with a twin turbo V10 that the C6 is, years ago I had the notion of an engine swap into the new car, but I'm pleased with how understated mine is, except the jet engine noise lol constantly gets attention, was even stopped by an elderly gentleman whilst parking her one day and he sat and talked cars for a few minutes because he admired the noise!

love the TDI badges

 

[Lyons]

I've only had 2, and both are rather unexciting.

The infamous 4x2 Octavia;

And my Subaru venture;

 

[veedubnoodle]

That's sweet looking.on coils or lowering springs?

Was lowered on BC Racing coilovers

 

[svensktoppen]

And my Subaru venture;

I always thought the Legacy was (is ) a really nice sensible everyday car. Comfy enough, rugged enough, etc.

 

[Coog]

Do 4x4's count as estates? They seem to be classed the same...

Couple of normal estates, both went to RMS'ers:

Then some of the many 4x4's

 

[Modmedia]

Only one Estate car I'd really want to own.

 

[svensktoppen]

Jonny has got himself one of those as runaround for the family, lol, straight from Japan

 

[A6Avant]

Love a good estate myself. Heres a couple of examples ive had. Oh, and the RS6!
