1. Skoda Octavia VRS saloon
2. Skoda Octavia VRS estate

since I want a cheap, fun drive allied with family practicality.

Why replace ? I would just buy another, assuming the garage can hold more than 5 cars, which it should.

All of those a very good however, the Skoda is more chunky and robust. Many taxi drivers use Skodas

I find saloon cars quieter in the interior than estates, but that's perhaps because I drive rather ageing cars.

SAS already know that, I'm sure. I believe he has a half share in one and drives it on the weekend day shifts.

SAS conducts business in his car, and at his age, he's not as flexible as he used to be.

Mercedes and Volvo make the only acceptable estate cars.
