New car recommendations

[Margarine]

My car qualifies for the scrappage scheme and I am thinking about it but haven't got a clue about cars. Any recommendations or advice would be welcome - ideally I would like an estate but most of these seem to be a getting a bit out of my price range, so looking for something to get me up to the lakes with room for gear and enough oomph to carry a canoe on top.

Pagani Zonda in Orange would look nice in the car park field of a fell race.



Ford focus/mondeo estate sounds ideal for you though.
Audi A4/A6 estate (often called avant)
Volvo do estates.....V70 and V50.

I was looking at the ford focus. They don't make it easy with the different models. Why can't they make just one?

Get a van!! Great for getting changed inside after fell races!!

We have purchased an 08 reg Audi A4 sportline 2.0diesel with 8,000mils ont clock mate. Very very very economical and going by a certain forumite on here it should last until im at least 60.
Im told the passat estates are pretty good as well


Im looking to prchase a vauxhall vivaro LWB high roof van 1.9 diesel
These are good vans with stacks of room
But not many about sadly

Skoda Octavia Estate - cheap, solid, big enough, lots of extras - 1.9 TDI for just over 12k with scrappage. I had one from new and did 77k in 3 years without a problem.

I've got a Golf 1.9TDI, same engine as the Octavia. 65mpg and 70,000 miles in 3 years without problems.. I was thinking about changing it, but I'm more inclined to run it to 100,000 at the moment. An estate is appealing as I seem to have bikes in the boot most weekends.

Bollocks.. It'll break down now I've said that!

Never ever let a car know you trust it

I would have kept mine but it was lease car from work and its time was up (and so was mine!)
