lucky 578 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 imo the subaru legacy estate is the best multi purpose car on the road, but i'm a little biased if it has to be diesel i'd go for the astra or the mondeo as i've had both and could'nt fault either really. p.s. if you go for the astra make sure it's the turbo diesel as the standard diesels are very under powered Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you want a car that hold its price, you have to buy a Mercedes ML300 or something like that, they hold their price but you can buy 3 forresters for that money,(3 X 15 years=45 years of driving, without electronic faillures, and other "gadgets" from mercedes. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Any views on the Ford Escort Estate? I have £2000 to spend, what do I go for? For £2,000 i'd go for a laguna, mondeo or passat. Definately not an escort Quote Link to post Share on other sites
