Happy with my current derv save for the fact that it doesn't have rear folding seats (go figure) as it's a saloon and apparently they needed to be spec'd (doh!- bought mine used approved and didn't realise at the time). Anyway - forward wind and the addition of a little nipper to our family means being able to optimise storage that way would've been great - I can't even take this one to Ikea due to limited space.
However, I am not really into SUVs and would like an estate when it comes time to replace in 4-5 yrs time (or sooner if a good deal comes my way).
I was thinking of going electric when I got my current car in 2017 (but didn't) and so would probably do so next time round but am astounded at the lack of all electric estates around. I understand that batteries are generally placed in the floorpan so does this limit what gets made (I would've thought not as the Tesla Model S is saloon - they should be able to make an estate version really).
Is it just a trend that anyone who wants an estate keeps getting ushered towards big fugly SUVs? Does anyone know of any pure electric estate cars on the horizon? (Volvo?).
