What Car? recommends - Super-fast estate

Name: Steve Bol
Age: 55

Budget: £35,000
Wants: 'A seriously quick estate car.
My Volvo is pretty nippy, but I want something even faster. A 0-62mph time of less than five seconds would be great.'

0-62mph takes a shade over five seconds, but the S4 is Steve's best bet if he wants to buy new.
Despite storming performance, the Audi manages a respectable 28.5mpg and is very plush inside.
Price: £23,500
We wouldn't recommend buying one of these new, but because they shed value so quickly, a six-month-old car would save Steve more than £10k.
Some of that cash could pay for the hefty fuel bills.
Price: £34,000
This previous-shape A4 is arguably a better car than the current one. The RS4 version is a cracker – it looks the part and will hit 62mph from rest in 4.9 seconds.
It should hang on to its value well, too.
