Alright /o/ brit bong here. I'm looking for a comfy estate cruiser, idealy diesel for MPG but educate me if there's good petrol competition out there. I'll mostly use it for work having a bunch of kit bags chucked in the back going up and down motorways, with a need to rarely drive on rough terrain. Pic related is what I'm currently looking at around the 4k mark.
Go ahead, buy it, but don`t come crying here after the fact.

I realise buying a 10 year old Audi filled with fancy gadgets is a massive bill waiting to happen. But if cars never went wrong and electronics always worked it would be the perfect choice.
So then there's just a standard a6 avant, or a 5 series estate as other options. But yeah I'm open to ideas.

Audi Allroads are notoriously unreliable, even more so than other German cars of the same era
I'd look at 05-15 Volvo XC70s if I were you

Stay as far away from those things as you can. The air suspension is ridiculously failure-prone and costs an arm and a leg to fix, the 2.7TT likes to blow turbos and the 2.5 TDI is just a complete disaster of an engine, period.

Well as much as I want one that pretty much seals the coffin on that. I'll have a look at the volvo as they already have that reliable reputation. Thank you anons.

Well it's ugly as sin, but it ticks all the boxes, I'll have to test drive one and see how it goes.
Buy a mid-2000s Volvo estate, fantastic value for money
XC70 if the budget stretches for it, like others have said
