	Ok, So I've had an Impreza wagon as my daily for about 3 years now. I didn't go out looking for an estate, but it's been the best car I've had (hence having it so long) and now when I look at possible replacements, I end up looking at the estate variant. Now after lurking on here, I feel the need to get something a little older. I'm edging towards an E34 touring, but would like some suggestions. It will be my daily, so can't be too difficult to keep going ( but mpg isn't too much of an issue as the scoob only does low 20's). Here are some cool estates:

That's what I've been telling people for years... If you need a car, buy an estate. Enough room in case you need it (and even if you only need it once - you have it!), more head room for passengers. If you don't need a practical car and don't need to carry passengers - go buy a beautifull coupé and enjoy it's looks! And mine...
