Boring estate advice

[ICB]

Rapid car the VR4. But beware the hideous interior and servicing intervals - 4000 miles!

prolly only oil and filter tho, mine's 3000 and it's never really worried, any high performance turbo car warrants that sort of treatment tbf

How is it dying?

It has 130k on the clock from a previous life, but I have spent the past 5 yrs primarily driving it in short journeys.

The garage tells me that the rear suspension will go one day and that is a main dealer job.

I had a brake problem recently and topped up the leaking resevoir with brake fluid (seemed logical) - unfortunately the leaking reservoir was the steering one, which also serves the brakes - it hates brake fluid and I may have damaged the steering rack.

At teh end of the day the S6 was a bit tuned up estate car (0-60 in 6.7 I think) and racehorses don't tend to live as long as cart horses do.
I still think an A6 is a good care IMHO

The Toyota Avensis is very good but far from stylish.
