Hi
I'm looking to buy a VR4 estate, not wanting to spend more than about 5K.
I used to have a saloon, ABSOLUTELY loved it but after 3+ years and 70K miles I decided to move on to an Evo. Then I started to do huge miles so got an Impreza (sorry!) as the cheaper option (my Evo needed servicing every month and went through clutches every 2 months cos of the miles I did!).
Anyway the Impreza is fun and practical but it isn't very big and I've now got a baby and we have to transport so much stuff including a mad big pram so I reckon I need something bigger. I am not going to go and a get a Mammy Wagon and I reckon a vr4 estate will be perfect and I'll give my hubbie the Impreza.
Sorry for rambling .... what I'd like to know is ...
Is 5k a big enough budget and what sort of car does it get me?
Is the estate even close to as much fun as the saloon?
Is the 4.5K service interval really necessary???
all info happily received ....
Cheers and happy new year!
