What sleek estate car will we get with up to €25,000?

Hi, we are looking for a second hand family car - preferably German/Scandinavian such as BMW/Volvo/Audi. Budget is €20-25k and something with good boot space would be essential. We were also looking for something reasonably sleek if possible!

What would you recommend?

Should I go for this Mazda6 I've found?

Hi, I am looking at purchasing an 08 Mazda6 2.0 diesel. I did a history check and I can see it appears to have a full service record. It is originally a UK import. There is about 85,000 miles on the car. I am now deciding between a Mondeo, Volvo S40 and this Mazda6. I still have to find a Volvo in the same price range of the Mazda. Is it worth paying out on average €1,000 more for an S40 or is the Mazda6 just as reliable and considered a good purchase? Any particular known issues with this car?

What should we do about replacing our Volvo S40?

I was thinking about changing my Volvo S40 1.6d for a crossover for ease of access as we are pushing on age wise. What would you recommend that is comfortable, reliable and economical bearing in mind our annual mileage is approx 20,000km? We don't need a big vehicle as our family are reared. Also, how much is our own car worth? Is it better to sell it privately or use it as a trade in?

Thank you.
