Anything else to consider?
Are you looking for a decent sized estate or just an estate to have some extra boot height to facilitate putting things in/out?
Passat or Superb will have significantly more load carrying than a 3 series, A4, etc. which are similar in load to a Golf or Octavia (both of which would be better VFM).

Volvo V50/70?
Id be up for a v50. 70 might be deemed too long.

The latter. I'd occasionally chuck my bike in and would like that to be less of a faff. Don't mind taking a wheel off. My dad had an superb and it was massive.
We'd rarely be travelling anywhere with 4 people so boot space is more important than rear leg room. I actually started looking for a golf/octavia but didn't think they seemed as good value as a 3 series.

Currently we have one car in(outside) the house, an aygo. I do not like driving it. On the motorway its troubled by the slightest incline. It's also loud! The buzz/drone really gets to you after a while.
My wife won't give the aygo up as she loves how cheap it is to run to work and how easy it is to park.
My plan is to buy a cheap estate to drive on the longer runs (and go to the tip, another problem with the stupid aygo). I want to spend about 4 grand. I think I want an auto. I was thinking a BMW e91. Anything else to consider?
