Which estate for £10,000?

I am looking for a reliable family estate car with as big a boot as possible up to 4 years old and have about £10,000 to spend. What would you recommend?

Very practical and spacious. Economical CDTi engines. Not a bad looker for an estate. Decent ride quality. FlexFold seats are a clever touch.
