Going from this

307 has been flawless in the 70,000kms we've had her.

The Passat is probably a good choice with the Caddy and Tig good options if you want something that little bit bigger.

Is the Tiguan really bigger than a Passat wagon? The Tiguan has a pretty small boot area (whatever you call that in a wagon) for a wagon - I know someone who bought a BMW X1 because it had noticably more room.

Should I be the first traitor to say another brand? Ford Territory Diesel would have to be one of the best all rounders out there,

"Watch me do 1000km on a tank" "Watch us go around the world"
A friend of mine sold his Territory because it has such stiff anti-roll bars (to stop it wallowing) that the pitching whenever hitting pot-holes was causing neck soreness.
And has ANYONE got near the official fuel figures for the new diesel? The road tests that I've read indicate that you'd have to be driving on the highway at 70km/h to get 1000km from a tank.

The new Jetta will be out next month,and it is such a practical car,as very roomy,with that MASSIVE boot.

It would be right up there on my list...

I guess you could say that both our cars are for the family.
1. Skoda Octavia rs lift back
2. Holden cruze cdx
3. Hyundai imax - well it's the van we bought for dads work but we can put the seats back in if we need to go on a long trip with the whole family. The biggest bloody family van we know of at a decent price.

Volvo V70R awd station wagon. Safe, fast and keeps up with the Toorak wankers.

Maybe not...

We were looking at getting a Volvo V70 but then I discovered the UK reliability index Home - Car Reliability Index | Reliability Index | How reliable is your car? and found that the V70 has an appalling record.

i dont think you need a big car just because you have a family, however i do believe that people carry too much ****.

We have an 8L S3 and just got a B5 A4 wagon.

I was using the A4 for work carrying my tools and stuff. Otherwise we went everywhere in the S3. The S3 was big enough to take 4 of us and a pushbike inside too.

Don't need anything bigger really.
