WHILE ESTATE CARS are just the thing for carrying a couple and their luggage on a romantic weekend getaway, many people associate them with much less glamorous pursuits. Less ‘escape to Chamonix’ and more ‘lug that old dishwasher to the tip’. This is where the Skoda Superb hatchback comes in. As an alternative to the Superb Estate launched earlier this year, it’s still deeply practical, but disguises that with a more streamlined shape.

Challenges the Superb on price, but can’t match it for comfort or interior space.

Very classy and comfortable; can’t hold a candle to the Superb for practicality, though.
