Right! Getting a new family car to lug around huge tents, bikes, bike trailers, assorted kit, oh and family. Mustn't forget them or I'll struggle to put up tent.
That is beginning to look like a Mondeo estate in 2.0 litre diesel or similar. Saw a reasonable 2.2 litre diesel Mondeo that's cheap. It had those alloy hubs with tyres with only a bit of rubber to them. They call them low profiles I believe.
Question is, do they make for a bumpier or harsher rides? I'm very likely to be driving in country with pretty bumpy roads. Am I better looking for normal three/hubs or alloys with normal tyres?
Also, what is the benefits of alloys over steel hubs?
Also, what else out there equivalent to a Mondeo estate in terms of price, reliability, performance, economy and space? Tempted by Mazda 5 or 6 estate, Citroen C5 estate and vectra estate as alternatives. Any opinions? Think I'll get more bang for my bucks from a Vauxhall or Ford.
I'm upgrading from Astra estate 1.7DTi and have 5k plus part ex to spend or 6k if special option.
