I'm selling my Saab Aero to buy this. That's pretty much what I get out of the Saab and can't live with such low mpg. My V40 does 43mpg on the short run to work, I know I won't get that from a large estate but I need it to be somewhat sensible :-) Petrol vs Diesel initial price could be £2k less....£2k on petrol over a few years....yes, done that calculation ;-)

Maybe the Citroen C5 or Octavia Estate would be a better option....I know, wash my mouth out! 2009 Citroen, good miles, less money...uhm.

This is the Volvo I fancied, great price. I found out it needs a full service and new brakes, not a great start and would bump price up a fair bit:

This one took my fancy but seller not answering questions. It's not had a documented service in over 2 years despite detailing fsh. No sign of a cambelt change either. Again, at top price i wouldn't want to start spending that sort of money:

Looks great value but I'm assuming 185bhp?
