      Don't overlook a Skoda Octavia TDi, preferably estate version.

        ?Air suspension

        Not exactly The C5 uses Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension, but the C4 has conventional springs, except for some models of C4 Picasso that use a self-leveling air system on the rear only.

        Hydropneumatic is not "air suspension" in the sense of the systems used on Range Rovers, S class Mercs etc.

          what ever best ride in its class for those with the hydropneumatic thingies was all I was trying to say -along with a good range of enginesm and afaik good value for money interms of servicing/purchase costs etc - also the C% has a big boot - useful if you have a small family and so have push chairs etc.

            Totally agree on the ride - if my old BXs were anything to go by. Useless in ice and snow though for some reason.

                Looking for a 4 door family saloon or similar size, diesel or LPG'able up to 15k.
                Huge performance less important than low running costs and reliability.

                Any suggestions?
