Pity the old XC70 was a great car.

Really annoying that so many estates are being replaced with SUV’s. Estates are really useful for wheelchair users. Whilst the boots on many SUV’s are tiny.

I ran an estate for a few years when I first started my business and have found them usefull on many occasions.

I agree. You would hope that the market was big enough for both. If we have to leave Motability next year due to lack of choice I’m going to see if my wife can manage to get into the BMW X3 or X5 and if they are too high for her I’ll see how she manages with a 5 Series Touring. The extra boot space would be very useful.
