I'm talking Mondeo ST220, Octy VRs, ATR etc etc...
Which would you choose and why?

Octavia VRS, gf's dad has a diesel one and we tag teamed up to scotland in June. His has the DPF remap so torque is really smooth through the full range.
Returned 44mpg over 1000 miles. Really spacious and comfy for people in the back (unless your more than 6ft 2 you'll have issues in the back though). And the boot is massive

Probably the Octavia, although it would have to have the proper engine.

Agreed 
Although he's a family man and drives up to scotland once a month to see his mum so couldnt justify the petrol.

Either a Vectra, Octavia or Mazda 6 as they're what I'm looking at getting next I think
Really want an A4 Avant but don't think my budget will stretch to that
