It's about time to trade in our grocery getter for a new one. We currently have a BMW 323iT Sport wagon. It's an awesome car but we're looking for something with AWD.
I have my eyes on 2 Estate Wagons. A Volvo v70R which I love the exterior styling but the inside is very bland.Or a Subaru Outback XT which the exterior is very bland but the interior is a lot more sporty than the Volvo.
Anyone have any experience with either car?

Get a volvo if you want higher owner costs and lower reliability.

- Bollox mate, you obviously nothing about cars. The GTI is better but not SO much better...that's just a lieRW

I just got a new VW Jetta Sportswagen TDI. It runs diesel and gets crazy gas milage while giving you neck snapping torque. I'd def. recommend it if your looking to spend under 30k.
