What's a reliable estate car?
I'm looking for an automatic petrol estate to take me and the dog away for some long weekends, for around £8500. What do you suggest?

We would suggest looking at the Toyota Avensis Touring Sports, Honda Civic Tourer and the Skoda Octavia Estate, all of which are available with an automatic gearbox and plenty of space for you and your dog.
