What estate or crossover would you recommend for me?
What can you recommend to fit the following criteria in a new/nearly new car: estate or crossover with large boot space, diesel engine, automatic gearbox, good value, not boring.
Thanks!

Hi Francis,
I reckon you should be looking at a Kia cee'd Sportwagon. Handsome to look at, excellent 1.6-litre diesel engine, lots of space, massive boot and, even if you're buying nearly new, a long, loooooong warranty. A tough package to beat and it's more enjoyable to drive than you might expect. Does it fall foul of your 'not boring' requirement?
OK so, one man's meat etc. How about a Skoda Yeti? Not as practical or big in the boot department, but funky and fun to drive and if you get a 4x4 version, a proper off-roader too.
What do you think?
