£10k Budget,

Been looking at
Honda Accord Tourer Exec 2.2 i-CDTi (Leather, Satnav, under 60k on an 05 plate)
Audi A4 1.9 TDi (New shape), 80k and no toys.
Volvo V50 2.0D ( Leather and not much else)

What would you guys choose any why?
(sounds like something Cilla would say)

Its basically needing to be to 60 in around 10sec, not too fussed if its a touch over as Ive seen remaps for all of them.
Needs to be reliable and as much fun as you can have in an estate.

The Accord 2.2 CDTi or MG ZT-T CDTi is what I would go for.

Looked at the normal 75 estate, but felt you got more with some of the competiters.  I will look at the MG.

Quote from: soopahflyLooked at the normal 75 estate, but felt you got more with some of the competiters.  I will look at the MG.

yeah some of the specs are abit thin, look for the Highline, PLus and Connesuire and the drivers info pack that will have (Dual Climate, Half leather/Allacantra, Rain Sens, Lights Sens, Parking Sens, Sat Nav/TV + more)

I thinking were more swaying towards the Honda tbh.
Will see when we go to carcraft to sit in their models.  Not going to buy from them mind, and if we cant get rid of the pushy salesman well tell him well buy there and then if he gives us £3k for the Cinq.

I was reading a thread on the DVD Forums like this recently, nothing but high praise for the Accord Exec, you get Honda reliability and all the toys too.

That, and for minimal effort you can get a USB or Ipod connector onto the stock HU!
Looks like the bus and the cinq may go in favour of an Accord Exec Tourer.

I really like the Accords, very smooth to drive.

Ten grand estate ?

Has to be an E-class or a 5 series diesel estate.

Id go for the E class.

Your hondas or volvos arent going to last 700,000 miles - the merc estate will

I think a Mercedies will do joooo!!!

Ive just bought an S4 wth 325 brake for 7k, leaves you with 3k to spend on a tv. bullet proof so long as looked after, quick as you like, and i moved 4 17" RSs and a set of eltax floorstanders last night with spce for passengers!!!

id have the merc myself, but £10k on an estate seems a bit much to me.... then again i spent nearly double that on a station wagon...

Dont really need it to last 700k to be fair, but im not looking at old cars. The merc would be more for the age/mileage were looking at, that and it looks like ass. Needs to be reasonable on the juice otherwise I would be looking at cars like the S15 or Phaetons.

then spend 3k on a cheap estate, and 7 on an S15

myself i would either get a vectra estate or mondeo estate
