Estate Car for around £5,000 - Niall Fricker

Hi All,

I'm looking for an estate car for around £5,000

Priorities are:

1, Reliability

2, Comfort

I have owned previously owned Volvo's that fit the bill but just looking for some alternatives.

Toyota Avensis looks a pretty solid choice

Estate Car for around £5,000 - SLO76
As mentioned on your other thread I came to the same conclusion and bought an outstanding 2010 example for just over £4K. Mazda 6 and Honda Accord are good options too but I’d stick with petrol at this money. You’ll get newer and less mileage for your budget and there’s far less to go wrong. These three will break 40mpg easy enough and the extra 8-10mpg the diesels give just aren’t worth the added repair and maintenance costs unless your doing a huge mileage.
