Looks odd on the outside but was a great all round car.<\/p>\n<p>Option 2) Vauxhall Omega 24V, Great cars but pricy and tales of cambelt issues..<\/p>\n<p>Option 3) Audi A6 (100) Avant V6.

I spotted a Volvo 850 T5 on ebay that was cheap&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ok, it&#8217;s front wheel drive, but it&#8217;s a volvo so should fulfill the other catagories&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was soon sitting on my drive&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 3 months old Our baby boy was taking up a lot of space, cramped trips got me thinking about a large family estate.
