Suggest a sporty wagon/estate/avant

[thexav]

Looking for something for work and I'm thinking perhaps I should just get a sporty estate car or wagon or similar?

Any suggestions on good reliable cars that perform well. Running costs are not really an issue as it will be tax deductible as mostly for business use.

I see a lot of clients and carry electrical tools/equipment and orders with me so need more space than a hatchback would give me.

A Volvo Polestar? A4 Avant Quattro? VW Passat R? Nissan Stagea if you need something really big!

What sort of age and budget were you thinking of?

Mercedes-Benz C Class 6.3 C63 AMG Edition 125 7G-Tronic 5dr
good for 650/700 bhp with the right mods.

Get a stagea ....d amazing value for money especially if mpg is irrellevant and you can stageas far sillier than that if you are daft enough

Now that is a monster!

but to get 650- 700 is a bit of a jump from what the car is actually running - just over 450

So does that mean we are probably talking the second hand value again on top for the power gain Brian?

Let me check my spare wallet...

 

[Yugguy]

Its doable with cash, there are a few on the mb forums running that sort of bhp.

 

[SLEEPER]

its a 6.3 v8 so power isnt a problem but the cost might be. i expect the motor will take it but
the merc has crazy torque already so it must be a really silly number if the bhp is that higher level.
And silly torque and gearboxes are not always best friends

 

[obi_waynne]

The Stagea must be one of the easiest cars to hit silly power figures for a reasonable budget?

I thought you might be suggesting the Stagea @SLEEPER I'm glad you didn't disappoint me.

What about an Audi RS6 Avant? Lots of power and fun and massive boot - the trouble is they cost a fortune to buy.

VR4 legnum
Volvo t5
Porsche cayenne

 

[obi_waynne]

Ah yes, the VR4 - pretty much an Evo in a larger body. How did I forget about that little gem.

Now there's a good off the wall suggestion. How rare are these though? I've never seen one for sale.
