Estate cars can make a great alternative to SUVs and MPVs

An SUV is only an old truck bed with an estate car body. MPVs are classed as estates by the DVLA. I've just been comparing estate cars which has woken my awareness of their benefits.

When you take a closer look at estate cars they score highly for all features:

• Performance - they have strong engines and stable suspension.
• Versatility - estate cars give both rear passenger space and load space.
• Comfort - most have long wheelbases with rear overhang acting as a counter balance.
• Style - their long low look makes estate cars look very elegant.
• Prestige - estate cars are the original, "I've got a place in the country" car.
• Economy - a 1.9 diesel engine can give the same mpg as a small car.
• Safety - stability and handling make estate cars a better bet than SUVs and MPVs.

If you've been feeling the pain of running an SUV why not give estate cars a look.
