new car suggestions please!
Looking for a replacement for my poor old e30.
needs to be a estate, reasonable on fuel and not french.
£2kish budget, but less is good.
Ideas?

Haha, my old ST200 was one of the most surprising cars I've ever owned... decent MPG, quick, sounded good, handled reasonably well and was massive inside.
Cheers,

have you driven one? for an mpv they drive really well. the 2.3 is about the right size engine with enough go without costing a fortune, and they corner reasonably well. i actually enjoy driving mine
i think they have the ford handling dna that richard parry jones worked hard to achieve.
