Guys,

I need to shift a 2WD VW Passat and buy a 4WD estate car as my wife, in all her infinite wisdom, has decided that driving to ski resorts will be more fun than flying. Irrespective of whether she is right or wrong (she hate airports and wants to stop off in Paris on the way), I thought I'd post here because, as we know, we are all the authority on what cars people need.

In the running:

VW Passat ALLTRACK (VW don't do a conventional 4WD Passat)
Audi A4 ALLROAD (2.0 TDi)

These are what I'm looking at (have I missed any brilliant others?) - I need good fuel (not an RS4 Avant) and a MY 11 onwards, bit of comfort. The Passat is huge inside but the Audi just seems a better car but less space in the back - I have no kids but lots of snowboards. Wife has lots of clothes.

Thanks for your time.

Skoda Superb

I can't do it, the Superb just doesn't look right to me and I hate myself for leaning towards the Audi even though I know the Passat is the better car to be honest.

The Passat is a real load lugger, it just feels cheaper than an Audi product but that's reflected in the retail price though.

Only others that I can think of are the Volvo XC70 and Subaru Legacy.

The Volvo is shocking on fuel , mate has a weasel one and its dire although a pretty thing ( ish )
Skoda are superb load luggers for the dosh

Hmmm, going to look at the Audi at the weekend but the sales guy was really pushy for a deposit. I made him say that I'd put one down but I'd get it back if my wife wasn't happy with the interior (she wants leather, car has cloth) - he reluctantly agreed. Not what I would call great customer service.
