So for full-on family spec, consider fast Subaru Legacy. 3.0R models, with 6-cylinder boxer, perm 4x4 and sublime handling plus strong spec. Also various import versions if you really want to blow the wee one's nappy off.

However Saddos R Us over here will be looking at likes of Skoda Octavia vRS estate diesel in due course. Boot the size of an A6 packaged into an A4-esque size body and plenty stuff for your money. But many will still baulk at the badge nae doot.

2p worth.

My sister has an Octavia estate, and rates it highly. I have also been in several Fabia VRSs and have been very impressed. There is, however, a noticeable difference in quality between the Octavia and my old man's Audi A6. Mechanically, there are all sound.
