As title
We are looking to buy a new car when i get back from afghanistan and this is what we are after.........
mpv or estate
as new as possible
petrol or diesel
big big boot !!
less than 40000miles
quite sporty looking
was all set on a touran but wanted to see what others could recommend before i jump in and go for one.!!
quite like the new mondeo and the mazda 6 but the dpf filter rubbish puts me off!!!
what are the petrol models like on these??
cheers

A nice diesel V70 or Mondeo would be my tip on that budget.
You could get a nice D5 at that money, I reckon.
OK, neither are "sporty looking", but both are awesome big cars with big boots.
Or, what about a classic?

see my wife is a snob, we currently have an 06 plate and ive seen some nice 55plate audi a6 but no, she doesnt want to go back reg's!!! 🙄
Renton, get a (boring, cheap and meaningless) personal plate, and she'll never know! 🙂
A6 boot is nowhere near that of a V70 or Mondeo. Shape is all wrong.
S-max tdci
Great car, dont own one but mate has one and i have driven it a few times.
We need something a tad bigger hence our Kia Sedona. If it want for that then it would be top of the list.
SMax is good but depending on bike sizes, quantity and how you pack them, the height isn't ideal...width and length is braw but height is short if you don't want to remove wheels and seats from anything larger than 18" to store upright. Other than that, ours has been superb.
Smax and chuck a tow bar on it. I got one 5 months ago for 9k, cruise control and all the trimmings, , 48mpg diesel. Can fit no end of shit in there

Indeed. The answer is: Ford Galaxy. Had ours nearly two years now (2.0 TDCi) and it's superb, does all the family stuff and with the seats down has van-like bike carrying ability.
We've got a Seat Altea XL. Might not be quite big enough for you, but its a bit different and very pratical.
If you don't mind the badge how about....Kia Ceed SW ?

We've a Nissan Qashqai, Its been a great car. You could easily pick up a sub 40k for less than 10grand. If want a really big boot you could go for the longer +2 version.
