V70 estate. Don't buy an automatic.

Seconded! our old V70's autos were shocking  :o

I drove a c70 t5 auto once and it was pretty nippy.  Handled well too, but forget using the rear seats.

Ours went pretty regularly, usually after a very spirited run, used to get the warning lamp saying gearbox fault. Most of the time cooked gearbox oil.  ::) ::) ::)

how about one of these?

If a V70 isn't big enough, then a Galant certainly won't be! And the running costs of a Mitsubishi are comical as long as someone else is paying.

Mate of mine had one of those.
