Buying a used estate - which model is best?
I want a large used estate car (three years old), with a comfortable cabin and automatic gearbox. I only do 10,000 miles a year, but want a petrol as I'm worried about DPFs. Should I get a petrol V70 or are there other alternatives out there?

A V70 does it, but they're hard to find with petrol engines. The obvious alternative is a Ford Mondeo. The 2.0SCTI EcoBoost is Powershift automatic and, in fact, a petrol engined V70 shares that same Ford engine and ZF transmission.
