Erm, my latest hatchback cost £1.60 and my estates were considerably dearer

From experience estates make little difference to wives as they prefer the front seat. Dogs - not so sure.

I still remember the years when my missus preferred the back seats.
Memory is all I have left now

Never mind the money; estates are more elegant and a Damn sight more useful. When you have had 2 years use and 30,000 miles from a free car, you don't mind the cost!

Indeed, mind u if it was free I would sell it and but a hatchback!!!!

The estate / hydropneumatic suspension combination was one of the reasons I bought my TD Estate 6 years ago.

I wanted an estate car as we like camping and also were fed up with not being able to move large articles in a saloon car but the problem with estates is either they are nearly useless like a BMW, have soft suspension and won't carry a load without bottoming or wallowing dangerously, or are so hard sprung that the thing bounces sideways everytime it goes round a corner, or are enormous.

Citroen suspension, being self levelling etc should solve these problems - and 6 years later - yes it does.

Financially not as good as yours Tom - I paid £550 for mine and took a chance as it wouldn't go over 35 MPH on a test run! (Didnt smoke excessively, engine wasn't oily, started quite well and ran on 4, and had water in it with no stains - and it turned out the throttle pedal had dropped off!)
