Buying a used family estate
I am looking to change my 06 2.0tdi Passat estate for a used estate / mpv / crossover in the sub £10k bracket. Everytime I think I have cracked it, I seem to find poor owner reviews.
Having had persistent rattles, parking brake and injector issues with the Passat, I am looking for something very reliable with good build quality, great safety and space for the family, aswell as a good drive, performance and economy! A higher driving position would be preferred.
Does such a thing exist?
