Out of interest, why? Statistically not all they're cracked up to be on the whole (especially the higher end / 'luxury' cars - lots to go wrong)
I've had an a3 a bora and a sprinter amongst many other vehicles and always prefered these.
Does anyone on STW run a Vectra estate? They can't be that bad can they?
It seems nobody ever talks about them. They look ideal in that they're huge and built to take abuse
They're quite cheap nowadays as the Insignia has replaced them
My parents had one, admiteldy it was probably a couple of generations older than the latest one, but they hated everything about it, which given my parents car histroy is saying something!Does anyone on STW run a Vectra estate?
MG-ZTT diesel . I've got the softer Rover75 version and get over 43mpg urban and over 54mpg on a run
An Over 75 ? which is the age you should be before buying one
I ended up getting a mercedes c220 estate on the weekend. It is quite fun to drive but it didn't meet the other 2 requirements
Its doing 32mpg and it was over £5k
Are there [b][i]any[/i][/b] modern large diesel cars that do not have issues with DPF, EGR or clutch?
Got something that ticks most of your boxes http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-ot-seat-alhambra-vw-sharan-19-tdi-6spd-7-seater-2002-87k-fsh-towbar-3 It would make an ideal people/bike carrier, remove the five rear seats (no tools required)and you have a van 😉

I've got one of these on the hit list... You don't fancy measuring the width and height of the boot and the length with the back seats down, do you? It'd be a big help, that info doesn't seem to be out there...
Mmm similar choice, stuck between a bmw 318 ci and a Subaru Forester at the mo.

Width = 1045mm at back & 880mm between wheel arches.
Height = 700mm
Length with seats up = 1000mm
Lenght with seat down = 1925mm
