Brilliant. And true

Suvs used to be bought by people for a good reason these days they just buy em cause they think they are cooler when sitting higher gimmie a wagon over SUV anyday over the week

This.

Indeed, we need more hot estates. Especially electric ones.

Enjoy the car! Bravo for going left-field too! Not just going for a Golf GTI….

Transformer😅

@@magnustan841 thank u. Golf is a bit uninteresting/boring in looks. Never been a big fan

Had similar about a week after I took delivery of my Cupra Ateca 😂 I was approached in the local Tesco car park by a little lad who said “hey, mister, my dad says your car is a power ranger car” I literally burst myself laughing 😆

same here, i got the 245hp hybrid and had a person actually wanna take a picture of him with it. he had no idea what it was

I also agree, I'd even go as far as to say that the vw passat looks better than most suvs, and the vw arteon is gorgeous

Don't like estates or SUV'S . Just give me a hatch any day 🤷🏾 . Minority I know

No offense, but I couldn't disagree more. I really dislike the looks of any estate, and a performance estate is a bit sacrilegious. They're just big boxes with bad physics for performance. I'm not saying you can't personally like them, I'm just saying I would much rather prefer a sleeker and better looks saloon, which is still plenty practical.

@@yissibiiyte you've just missed the point of the estate

@@myasin1286 not really. They're not even that practical. Again, there's very little extra practicality in an estate compared to a reasonably sized saloon. Modern saloons are extremely spacious, practical and have enormous boots. Especially liftbacks such as the Audi A7 or AMG GT 4-door, which are just as accomodating as an estate. They are just as practical as estates, but don't look as bad.

@@yissibiiyte i also prefer saloon but estates (wagons) are more practical

@@yissibiiyte if estates are useless compared to saloons then why do you think manufacturers still make them? Surely someone must think there's a valuable reason for having them?

Oh yeah, estates are not completely overrated, but the hype within the enthusiasts community is a bit much. I mean, they say SUVs suck, because they’re not aerodynamic and their bigger bodies mean more raw materials, increased environmental impact and costs, blah, blah, blah. Estates have slightly better aero performance, but I’m sure they require a similar amount of raw materials to build. The only benefit of estates over SUVs for the enthusiast, is the lower CG and more sporty handling. So the argument is ever so slightly invalid and all the noise is them just trying to convince people outside the enthusiast community to come round to their way of thinking and buy estates instead of SUVs, because most diehard car lovers are selfish.

@@magnustan841, leaving aside driving characteristics, which of the following practical attributes do you think SUVs are superior in? Purchase price, fuel consumption, emissions, motor tax (dependent on country)? Oh yeah, none of those. Storage space -- maybe, depends if you have a long load or a tall load.

@@Radaos It depends, like I said, estates and SUVs do a very similar job, except SUVs ride higher. I’m just noting that some enthusiasts tend to cheer estates and boo SUVs because of external influences and the desire to fit in with the crowd.

@@magnustan841 SUV are for superficial people that take style over substance and most will never use it for its intended purpose. For most that don't actually need an SUV the estate is far better proposition, better in terms of emissions not only for running costs but in manufacture too, handles and drives better and they are way more practical with usually more luggage space and lower load height, great for getting dogs in and out (which is why I have one). Also choose the right one and they look better than most SUVs!

It's crazy,that estate looks way better than the pointless SUV

Audi a4 all road would be best of both worlds

To be truthfully honest, an estate is also sacrilegious to good handling, low drag etc. Even though they're lower than SUVs, they'll still completely the wrong shape. If you want real handling, get a saloon or even a hatchback, and they're practicality really isn't that much worse. An estate is never really necessary, it's still a compromise to the physics of performance, just like an SUV, and they're uglier than a regular saloon or liftback.

@@yissibiiyte You buy an estate when you need that extra practicality. Personally I don't need the space at all and a car isn't even practical for me so I would go for a 2 seater sports car or even motorcycle to get the best handling

@@sneaky_krait7271 motorbikes are slower than cars in corners and stopping, and generally faster on the straights

@@redline589 on a circuit with a more expensive car then yes, but when manouvering through a city especially a motorcycle will get you to your destination faster

It's just his opinion, and I actually like the fact that he is honest about his preference. I for one love estates and despise SUVs but there is no reason to be offended by his words...

You've never been hurt more than by a man saying he prefers SUV's to Estates? You must have had a very, very sheltered life.

@@bim8498 It's called exagurating my dude

@@RobertMilat I missed your sarcasm, sorry.

@@bim8498 it's cool

Don't buy pick up trucks.

@@borosasa3500 if you think we don’t have wagons because of pick ups then you don’t know. It’s the 7 trillion crossovers that women love driving here cuz they feel “safer”.

@@MPPJ1931 I hate crossover and suv

As the value goes up , head start to swivel and skeptics begin to soften .. Starting a new currency is easy , anyone can do it ..The trick is getting people to accept it because it is their use that give the "money" value

ngl estates are my favourite body type

I always envy Europe when it come to their variety of cars. Maybe if these can be re-introduced again to us South Africans we can now buy them.

If you have the money, audi a4 avant all road. Raises it up a bit and it has I think a 60/40 quattro system, should be sick

Does anybody knows the brand of hoodie? Thanks

hatchs are ugly and sadly everywere all over Europe

🤪😆😅🤣

Different horses for different courses. Plus, where is there a rule saying “car guys / enthusiasts must love estates/wagons and hate SUVs”? I’ve never heard of that. It’s a community, we share preferences, debate them at times, but everyone should be respectful of each other. As Josh Revell says, don’t be a manus.

I'll tell you how, because I couldn't agree with Rory more. Estates are completely overrated and I can't stand how everyone is supposed to love them for absolutely no reason. They are hideous to look at. I don't care what you say, the estate version of a car is always so much uglier than its equivalent sedan or hatchback. You can't deny a sedan is so much better looking than an estate. Secondly, the physics of an estate are terrible for performance. They're just big, heavy boxes. Again, a sedan or hatchback is so much better in terms of aerodynamics, handling etc. Thirdly, despite how everyone preaches about it, they're not even that practical. An estate is hardly any more practical than a reasonably sized family saloon. Modern saloons are extremely spacious, practical and have huge boot space. Especially cars that are actually liftbacks such as an Audi A7 or AMG GT 4-door, which have a boot that is just as enormous, accessible and accomodating as an estate's. Estates are big and ugly, they're physics are off and they're practicality isn't even that amazing. Estates are completely overrated. There's little an estate can do that a practical sedan can't, except look much uglier and handle much worse. (Sorry for the long rant, I didn't mean anything personally or maliciously.)

@@magnustan841 @Yissi Biiyte Estates aren’t as good looking as their saloon/sedan equivalents but the added practicality and decent performance makes them a great all rounder, also SUV’s these days aren’t made for what SUV’s are supposed to do, even with off roaring tyres they have no hope, i’m not arguing here cos i’m not a massive estate fan but some estates are cool and some SUV’s are cool, at the end of the day we are all petrol heads so that should be what unites us as opposed to our preferences

@@yissibiiyte Try putting a chest of draws in a saloon car's boot, not even that practical my arse. The estate just said it has 200L more boot space, 200L, that's half of a normal saloon's boot by itself so an estate is a saloon with a more practical hatch, what's not to like
