Help = I'm feeling all 'practical'
The Zil Golf is going very soon and I will be looking to buy some new wheels eventually.
As an interim measure, I will be using Skud the Skoda which never actually sold.
Nevertheless, I keep thinking of what I want in a new vehicle and towing a trailer with the Sylva and carrying all the kit keeps coming into the
equation.
This keeps leading me to stuff like.
Espace
Sharalaxy
Synergie / 806 / Useless.
Or even worse
Berlingo / Kangoo.
Talk me out of / into it.

Nowt wrong with a kangoo. They have more character than anythiong else you can buy at the moment and there is a new one out very soon 
Im begging my dad to change the work vans for new kangoos and i want one aswell for my new business (albeit a while off  )
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

How can anyone say no to something that looks as cute as this?

If as you say you're happy to tow a trailer why look at all these weird vehicles? Do you need 7 seats and be able to look over hedges? If not go
for a sensible mainstream estate Mondeo diesel for example

Id go for a good estate. If you want good and luxury bangernomics then id go for a volvo 850 estate or v70. Cheap as chips. If you want diesel
then id go vw golf or passat estate.

Those are definitely on the list too.
As is another Audi.
I loved my 80 TDI and would have another, but would prefer an Avant.

kangoo is a fugly piece of poo. if you want to be practical dont buy french! go for a vw caddy van the new type. solid van which is a pleasure to
drive and will retain value unlike a french car. also a quick/economical van.
