    Unless you're carrying a fridge freezer every day the Superb Hatchback is bizarrely slightly longer if I remember correctly? Both huge and couldn't decide which looked better? Nice sleeper car though with the 280 engine.
    Funnily, i've been pondering a small Caddy sized van to facilitate a side project i'm going to work on. I havent seen much movement yet, but in theory markets like pickups and vans are likely to be hit by the upcoming downturn.
    Would be interesting to hear if anyone has direct experience?

    Why? So you can argue with them?

    We have an Avensis estate, and yes it is perhaps boring, but is easily the most reliable car I've owned. The only common issue to watch for on the T27 Avensis is cracking of the paint on the front doors around the check straps. It was a quality issue from 2009 to around 2011/12 when they modified the design.

    I've owned a couple of Skodas (Octavia and Fabia) and really liked them both. The thing with Skodas is they are just as reliable/unreliable as VWs, and it is a matter of opinion whether that's a good/bad thing..
