Cheap estate car recommendation?

I have maximum £4,000 to spend on a spacious car (preferably an estate for the wider boot opening) which will be used primarily for ferrying me and my work kit around. Reliability and space are most important to me, but something with cruise control and an aux connection would also be great.

I'm happy with diesel or petrol but would be mainly interested in a manual. What would you recommend?

How about a Skoda Octavia Estate? They're popular with taxi drivers for a reason - they're comfortable, practical and the diesel engines are generally very reliable. A Toyota Avensis Estate is a good choice for the same reasons.
