Hi all.

In the market for a new (to me) motor. Currently driving a 2016 Ibiza cupra, which I bought as wanted something fast and fun at the time. Now looking to get something bigger to chuck the kids bikes into on a weekend. Like to keep my car's in good condition and enjoy a spirited B road drive on way home. Been eyeing up v and xc 70s. Should get around 10k for mine so that's the ideal,
but could put more in to around 13k for something special. Currently torn between these, which would you go for, or have I gone mad!

Any decent guide out there of what to look out for when viewing / testing any of them?

Thanks

Chris.

The V70 is a wonderful thing, but anyone considering spending 14 grand on one at the age of the car in your first link would be insane. There are loads out there.

Check the usual selling sites (and I simply couldn't recommend PH as one of them) and the owners clubs.

That blue one is horrifically overpriced.

I'd go for the white D5

Of the 4 links i'd be looking at the white XC70.
