Recommend a fastish estate

[UnderOpenSky]

It's a good, solid car - it's just that the Mondeo was a much more fun, spirited drive - you don't notice it on motorways or taking the kids to school, but on fast, fun A roads it's much less fun than the Mighty M, and on very windy, hilly roads the control/precision difference is noticable.

The new Mondeo's -17(?) plate onwards - were less fun than the older ones, so the difference between a 15 plate M and an Avensis would be frightening....

I really liked my Mk3 before it's unfortunate accident with a wall. Probably get a Mk4 hatchback next as you get a better car for the same money then estates sadly.

It looks like a toboggan is having angry sex with that car.

It's still a shit estate - dog cage? No. Fridge freezer? No. Sofa? No.

It's just a hatchback, but I'm sure it's perfectly fine for hairdressers and estate agents....

Ferrari never get it quite right when the engine gets stuck at the front. Pretty darn ugly.

The RS6 is favoured by security types though, hence Prince Harry owning one, my richest punter’s driver is ex-Mossad and it’s his choice too, good for getting the fuck out of here type shit.

You'd not get a fridge freezer in any of them, so they're shit.

Vans are for fridges, Ferrari's for fun.

Just the sound of a Ferrari in a hurry...

Not going into production with the 928 "H50" was, along with the 989, a huge missed opportunity for Porsche that it took them decades to correct with the Panamera.

 

[hash tag]

That reminds me of a Pacer on steroids.

Like this?

I'd have bought that.

I’m considering downsizing from my stretched defender ambulance conversion to something a bit less expensive on the Gallons per mile

Is there an estate that will happily eat a 9’2 surf board without having to rest the nose on the dashboard, otherwise it’s a small tranny type van for me

Looking for modern comfort and a bit of power, not utterly gutless.

Someone suggested grand jeep Cherokee

Or a ford galaxy.

 

[friedaweed]

Keep reading the op as 'recommend a fascists state'

 

[Poi E]

Avoid Jeep.

 

[dessiato]

Avoid Jeep.

And Mitsubishi

I hired a VW Golf estate in Germany (because they had few other options left) and I totally floored it on the autobahn. I wasn't used to speedos in kms, so it wasn't until afterwards when I did the conversion that I realised I'd been doing 100+mph, maybe 110-115 iirc.

It's a Porsche!

 

[hash tag]

Why does it need to eat a surfboard, why not carry it?

 

[dessiato]

It's a Porsche!

Exactly.

 

[hash tag]

Car with surfboard; this is pretty cool

 

[Poi E]

Me thinks he does not sleep alone often.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Why does it need to eat a surfboard, why not carry it?

You can’t leave a board on the roof so you have to store the fucker in the house, have a van, board lives in it.

 

[hash tag]

A bit on the low side, but it's an estate, it's a classic, 4 doors and a little bit gorgeous

I went for the Skoda Octavia VRS Estate in the end.

Christmas Eve, cash buyer - I could see their greedy little eyes burning a hole in my wallet.

It's the 2 ltr diesel.180 bhp - it's lots of fun...
