Best used fast estates, £50k Mustang replacement and tracking down your old cars

Fast estates take centre stage, as this episode runs through the best performance wagons to buy in 2026—from a bargain Ford Focus ST Estate to heavy hitters like the Alpina D3 S Touring and Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Estate.

There’s also a £50k buying challenge to replace a Ford Mustang GT, with contenders including a rare Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Motorsport Edition and a Porsche 911 Turbo.

Finally, attention turns to a long-running forum thread helping owners track down cars they once loved.
