Simon Goldsworthy Rover 75 Tourer/MG ZT-T
If the cost of a decent Volvo 240 is getting a little rich for your wallet, thenbut the estates are incredibly versatile workhorses that are still immensely enjoyable to drive. There is a wide range of engine options too, from fourcylinder K-series units in both normally aspirated and turbocharged forms, a storming KV6 and a BMW diesel that is surprisingly rapid and yet still refined and frugal. You can even find variants powered by a Ford V8 and with RWD, but then you are moving into a totally new price bracket.
