Default what estate car for around £7k?
with the recent birth of my son, it has become very apparent that the boot of my car is too small, so could do with an estate, but every thing i can think of is a bit too boring, any sugestions?

Mondeo or 5 Series Estate.

What about an ST170 estate - I think they look quite cool

I quite like the Honda Accord Estates too dude.

I cant believe the boot in the 5 series is too small - and I missing somet?

I'd drive a st before making the deciding against it.

I've recently bought a St200 and I'm really impressed with it I should have looked at the TDCI but I didn't realise the MPG you get with them before I bought mine. But I don't regret it in the slightest

The 5 series boot isnt that impressive imo and certainly loading a big pram will be a pain due to the small entry you get

Audi a4 tdi estate or bmw 330d tourer

yeah, as it is the fully loaded version, it has got multi-disc changers, sat-nav, dvd players, blue toothe stuff etc etc either side of the boot, so you only really get the depth
