Officially, Insignia estate boot is same volume to window line as Vectra C... 530 litres... Only 10 litres short of the Omega, but 100 litres short of the EClass

You should have kept and gassed you Mums Omega estate...

But you'll not be told

Why do you keep making these digs? Seriously? Point? 

I'd actually prefer you not to respond to any of my threads, shame there is not a way to hide a user

Always been the same Tunnie, at first I thought it was just me mis-judging the written word but one of the main reasons I don't come on very often now is his constant barbed comments. Just pisses you off. I have no reason to disbelieve he knows an awful lot about every subject he comments on, just comes across as a cock most of the time

I was thinking my X reg 2.2 manual was a rare bargain, but here's another just like it.

Sorry, no more Omegas.

Loved 3.0d XF I looked at recently, shame about the tiny boot.

Thing is, it's a relatively short time that you have to lug around pushchairs etc, even if you increase the family size I'd stick with the 3.2 for the family days and think more long term for your car.

As a nice toy to lavish time and money on? They're lovely, like a French XJ6. But a C6 as a sensible family car? You might just as well throw all caution to the wind and by a Maserati. Or an Alfa

3.2 is the family car and will remain so, the replacement is my commuter plus treat to myself at selling the GS. But as a min requirement, it must take the iCandy pram and folding cotbed. I case the 3.2 fails, it must be a backup. Sod's law the 3.2 will fail when I really need it, recently HBV and coolant loss. Fixable, but needed a reliable car for 2/3 days, no time to fix. So needs to double as possible family car if needed.

One of those turned up as a work ordered taxi, very, very comfy really rode well. But not sure is own one that old 

Budget is significantly more than that, I went to see something today, almost put a deposit down!

When I saw what Opti had paid for his, I nearly put a deposit down

But being honest, it doesn't take much for that to happen does it ?

Years ago when Clarkson was reviewing an XJ on Top Gear, his view of boot space was ...... if you want more space, buy a field!

Found it! It was the XJR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVLikIOR5Y8 right at the end 

[tunnie]

I need to buy a field then 

[Andy B]

I'd not realised it was from THAT long ago!

I'd not realised it was from THAT long ago! 

Only a couple of decades.
