Guys,

Got a family of 2+2, and need better space than a saloon currently gives me. I'll have around 10k to spend. Current car - 320D SE (05 - E90)

Current thoughts are around a Volvo V70 D5 SE, a local Jaguar 2.2d x-type. I'll need the extra space to cart the kids & their toys around (bikes etc), but especially for camping over summer months. This weekend brought home the fact that we need a more practical car, as we had to take 2 cars just go for a bike ride with some friends (who we met there). Took me longer to sort out the bikes on the cars than we did actually riding I think :(

The cars:

Volvo V70

Jaguar X-Type (can't link to it): 55 plate, 2.2d Sport, 5 Doors, Manual, Estate, Diesel, 35,000 miles, Black. Partial leather seat trim, ABS, Alloy wheels, Reverse parking aid, Immobiliser, Side airbags, Sports seats, Traction control, Front head restraints, Front fog lights, Electrically adjustable passenger seat, Electrically adjustable drivers seat, Audio remote control, 3x3 point rear seat belts, Steering wheel rake adjustment, Remote central locking, Rear electric windows, Heated door mirrors, Front electric windows, Electric door mirrors, Alarm.

Any other suggestions?
 
Ok, thanks guys. Booked test drive in the Volvo tomorrow, so we'll have to see.

E-class has always appealed, but I can't afford one of the face-lifted versions :(
