Estate cars

[_James_]

Why's it got a moustache? Thought you hated hipsters.

It was the style at the time!

I love a good estate, had this nearly three years now. Starting to get itchy feet but don't know what I would get that could match it (and I can afford). The Jag XF looks good but I'm about 10 years off affording one, but it will have to be an estate...

I know, if it's going anywhere it will be to my brother. Was looking at your s6 but think I'd miss this immediately.

Sadly no, considered one but the running costs just didn't stack up as a daily driver; far higher costs for very little performance advantage
Plus a lot of folk say the 2.2 is a bit rough and needs worked hard

The 2.0 163 does me, Powershift box too which is a revelation, tows the caravan well too

Only let down visually is the tail pipe, just a single pointing down, wouldn't mind getting it replaced with a nice twin exit silencer; any recommendations?

My da got map/tuning box for his recently, makes a BIG difference as the 163 feels a bit slow to wind up! You can get the parts off Ford for the twin exhaust modification. All the clips and brackets are already on the car.

Love my B3 Passat, had looked at an e36 touring beforehand, but I'd still choose the Passat everytime.

It's not just the fact they can hold more, but I pterfer the shape /style

Especially when it comes to Audis. The avants look far better.

Have you priced the parts from Ford? Crazy crazy money, definitely NOT prepared to go down that route

I hear so many stories about tuning boxes, maps etc. I don't know who is reputable as I think they will tell you anything to get the trade

The tuning company I bought off has been around for a few years so I take my chances! Dealer only parts are dear, but I guess if you want oem you'll have limited choices.

Yes @Minikid that would have been me on morning g commute. Now running on standard 16" s due to puncture tho. Thanks for the comment - I like it!

Best way to do that is to buy my 1998 V70R I put in the classifieds on here last night, I'll bring it home in July, get that black one off big bro, and he can bike in and out to work for a while.

Sorted!

 

[Lyons]

I was about to link it in the classifieds thread, it looks awesome!

 

[Boydie]

I've a V70 Volvo estate car for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested

 

[warninglight]

I've had a few of this generation of Volvo now but this one has been immense! Got a 1960s Volvo in the garage which I'm rebuilding at the mo, so funds and time need to go to that! Someone buy it and I'll bring it to NI free

How much is it going for?

I am absolutely torn between these 2 cars. I have weighed up the pros and cons of each and it's nearly coming down to coin toss. The B5 is slightly ahead as it's a bit handier to bring home. Someone help!

audi s4 b6 nogaro blue recaro avant v8 px swap

Audi S4 AVANT 2.7 Quattro 5dr

The B6 has some choice mods which I like, full engine rebuild so reliability shouldn't be an issue, and is generally a nicer place to be than the older B5. Looks fresher and interior is far nicer. Plus V8 and milltek!

The B5 has more character, is near enough standard, and it potentially an appreciating car. They are a bit of culkt classic, and are very tuneable.

 

[Smick]

Prefer the B6
