Which smaller automatic estate?

I am downsizing from a Legacy Outback with 185K on the clock for a smaller auto. We must have room for two dogs in the back so have looked at the Golf Estate and the A3. I do about 20K miles annually as a farm consultant and like an auto. Any other suggestions?

I'm not keen on VAG DSGs and s-tronics. The smartest new estate car is the new KIA cee'd, first revealed last night: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/new-cars/2012-03/geneva-.../
