JTaylor91 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I need help deciding on a new motor. We have the baby on the way so I need to change by the end of June. Must be; No more than 4 years old. Good on fuel (120 miles a day commute) Automatic Decent inside seen as I spend a couple of hours a day sat there. Decent power 190bhp+. I’m going from 400~ish 😢. 4wd would be a plus but not essential. Big enough for dog, baby and stuff for a week away. Budget 15-20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Volvo XC70 AWD Auto Diesel. Safe, solid, reliable, massive inside. Kids seats fold up out of rear seats. Cruise at motorway speeds all day. If its leather you'll not want to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibble Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Just handed back a Škoda Superb sel 190bhp diesel 400nm torque, fantastic family car. Had it for 4 years perfect in most ways apart from being a bit long wheelbase and company car tax Edited February 27, 2020 by Dibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge911 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 volvo xc90 ive never thought of owning a volvo until I bought my xc90 2 years back it is brilliant . mine is only a 2004 model as I did not have no where near your budget and unfortunately never will but its like driving in your favourite armchair loads of room and has a 3rd row of seats if needed used mine regularly for shooting … i.e driving the fields and farm tracks and its fine. I had mine remapped for economy [cost me £120] and on q run to kent from Newcastle on tyne set the cruise control at 75mph and it averaged 45mpg they come with good spec and servicing parts are pretty cheap they are auto with tiptronic if you need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washerboy Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Had an A3, never again. Over rated, took a friends focus that was 3k cheaper and had more kit out for a drive and it was much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 May be of interest: I have Dacia Duster 4wd, I find it fine for what I need, however my mileage is relatively low. Cheers Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fse10 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just got a 67 plate X-Trail 2.0 D tekna must say so far i like it a lot all the bells on it . Good mpg nice to be inside pulls well. Just need to see what it 4x4 limits are should be fine for wet dirt tracks down to the marsh & stubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
