Looking to get a reliable estate car.
Looking to get a reliable estate car which can accommodate two large dogs in the boot but leaves room to put kids school bags etc in. At the moment we have a BMW 3 estate but once the dogs go in the entire boot is taken over. Looking at a Passat but the Skoda looks impressive too.
Our answer:
Hi Emma,
Passat or Skoda Superb are both excellent choices, with the Skoda winning the boot space battle hands down. The Mazda6 Tourer is well worth a look too, as is the Toyota Avensis.
