Second car besides the MUX

Hope to replace the Paj with a small/medium car in a year or two when I'm back working again.  I'd like a compact wagon, something Forester/Passat/Octavia/Mondeo sized, but realistically a Focus/Golf/308/i30 would probably do the job and be more affordable.  I was originally looking at a 2007+ Rodeo or early D-max as a newer vehicle for me, but my wife reckons I can have the Mu-X back if she gets something zippier for her....

Sorry, to answer your question.  Auto 4x4, fun, under $30k...  Jeep JK Wrangler?  Forester XT?  Skoda Octavia Scout?  Suzuki Jimny!

We’ve got MUX LST as our family car and Ford Focus as our run about town car. It’s cheap on petrol, compact - easy to park and roomy enough for a few kids. Best Buy out there under 30k with heaps of change.

CoopsMux - We ended up getting a Ford Escape Trend ecoboost which is basically a fat Focus AWD!  Love it. It bloody hammers too with 180kw and 345nm.  So much nicer inside than my "truck"

Depends on what you want. Our second car well the better halves car is a little diesel BMW 118d. It is a seriously fun little car to drive. One of the best handling cars I have ever driven and it is very zippy plus the fuel economy is pretty much the best you can get at under 5lt/hundred Urban and under 4 highway.
