Not a fan of the cream leather? I usually prefer coloured leather over black but I understand how it might not appeal to others.

aye not a practical colour for what I would be using it for. Shame
what would you be using it for?
I did wonder if the cream would be hard to keep, but I've never had any bother with it at all. And that's with the car being mainly used for driving my young son about. It's a personal preference though I guess. I prefer cream leather or red over black.

R32 estate, pimp!
S4 Estate, more pimp!
Volvo, good cars, but old man image. Never forget the old statement, "made by machines, driven by dummies"  Mind you a T5 estate would be cool, but most have moon miles now.
BMW would be good, until you get in the mud at events, then your shafted.
What about getting a normal car, banging a removable towbar, then getting a small trailer for bike events (presuming this is bicycle over motorbike)?

Another vote for cream leather here but understand that wouldn't be practical for muddy bikes

I've got a veccy vxr estate four mtbs on the roof four ugly fat blokes in it all the gear and spares in the boot and often an Alsatian in the boot as well. Stonk all over the parish fully loaded at the legal speed limit.
Service costs of a boggo vectra only biggy is tax and petrol. Had mine five years now as nothing sensibly priced comes close. Not everyones cup of tea style wise but meh...

I'd be looking at either Audi A4 estates if you want a lovely car to drive whilst being a handy size. Or 530/535d if you want similar comforts whilst something that still packs a punch. You can't beat an estate car for how handy they are. I love mine and it's only an Astra H, I want a 330D next if I can.

From a practical point of view I wouldn't be getting a b5 s4. The boots aren't actually that big imo.
I'd say Volvo all the way for practical

I have a BMW 335D msport touring, with a remap, 340bhp 525lbs/ft torque.
The boots size isn't the biggest but, is most useable shape for myself. Opening hatch glass and shopping bag hooks comes in handy for carrier bags. Standard small exec size interior with all bells and whistles. Heated seats, dual climate, cruise, sat nav, panoramic sunroof, roof bars, etc etc. Couldn't ask for anything more tbh. Much more manageable than in everyday living than past 4x4s.

Rs4 is cool as fuck but not really practical with fuel costs. That e91 is a beauty if it's just bikes you are putting in then seats an be covered up easily
