Jobi 387 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thinking of getting an estate next but the more I look in to it the more unsure I am. Of course I want the car to be reliable and spacious but I also want a bit of style and driving pleasure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He only does short runs though to work and such for the most part. Don't know about wind noise but it does make a lot of road noise, think it's the tyres. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn’t running a high mileage one so I can’t speak for that pal however I do know I drove more miles in that car than ant motor I’ve had , I put 80000 on it in 2 years and it never missed a beat. 4 and a half hours Ipswich to Carlisle twice a weekend will do that and it was no slouch either . As for boot space ....I don’t know who told you that nonsense , I put a dog , a pram , a hiking grip and enough clothes make up shoes and fake tan to last most currock beaus a decade in that motor most weekends and never touched the gunnels 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
