Which 4-6 year old estate should I get for reliability and driving pleasure?

A while back you recommended a Honda Civic for my daily commute. I'm mightily happy with it but now I need a petrol Estate. Up to say 6 years old, capable of carrying 5 adults and two dogs. Fuel economy is not so important but reliability and driving pleasure are key. I will keep the car for 6 years and lean towards Japanese makes for reliability. What could you suggest?
