Think I'm going VAG for my next car too, similar budget, requirement to fit a Labrador in the boot but not too fussed if its petrol/diesel. The lure of an A4 Avant with Quattro for when things get slippy/muddy is whats tempting me towards the Audi rather than a VW Passat or Golf Estate which would buy more for my money.


Cheers,
Grant
