9/10Mercedes-BenzE-Class Estate£40,285 – £98,180One of the most practical, sensible and desirable large estates.
9/10AudiRS6£90,560 – £107,060Audi’s fast five-door family estate now has more brains to go with all that brawn, making it a consummate all-rounder
9/10AudiRS6 (2013)£90,560 – £107,060It’s the most amusing car that Audi makes – including the R8 – for sheer wilful silliness.
8/10Mercedes-BenzC-Class Estate£36,925 – £79,312Classy, sensible and easy to live with. Not the most exciting small estate on sale, but possibly the most well-rounded
8/10AudiRS6 (2002)£90,560 – £107,060An utterly beguiling car. And it feels so relevant today - its performance hasn’t been hugely outstripped, it’s still good to drive, and the interior is laid out in a way that doesn’t feel its age.
