What petrol estate car?
I currently have an 08 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9 DDIS which seems to stumble from one diesel related issue to another, so I am looking to cut my losses and go back to a petrol estate, however choices seem to be quite limited as everyone is still buying diesels.
Looking to spend between 6k and 9k for an up to 7 year old medium sized estate (preferably with Leather seats), current list seems to be, Mercedes C-Class C180K or C200K, Saab 93 2.0T (previously owned a 1.8t), BMW 320 (although not so keen on the looks)

Volvo V40 1.8 or 2.0i petrol, Ford Focus 2.0i petrol, Ford Mondeo 2.0i petrol. You will get a newer, lower mileage petrol engined car than a diesel. And yes, SAAB 9-3SW 2.0T (NOT diesel).
