BMW 530d Sport Touring. Fast, handles well, amazing quality. Chip it if you need more poke.

Volvo V70 R


Its what I put the wife and 2 children in, safe, reliable and swift. Remap pushes 300 + Bhp and it eats continents for breakfast.

Easily get a good low mileage ex demo car from a Volvo dealer way under £25k with a bomb proof warranty.

Autech Stagea estate? Remember reading about one once (!). Its the estate version of the Skyline R34, and the Autech version is the 'mildly modified' version. Can't really give you any more useful information though!

I'd go for either the RS4 or Nisan Stagea, real wolf in sheeps clothing and not too expensive.
Also be tempted by a legnum as a cheaper option.

Don't discount the BMW 540i. A 4.4 V8 that handles and goes surprisingly well and you'll get 24mpg on average. A 4 year old will set you back about £15k with full dealer history and you can extend the warranty right up to 100,000 miles, so no running worries.
