Can you recommend an estate car with room for two sets of golf clubs?
Can you suggest an estate car that would accommodate two sets of golf clubs and trolleys? We are looking to spend no more than £20,000 plus whatever we can get for our current 2001 Focus estate. Our mileage is 12,000 per year but does include fairly frequent short trips. Does this suggest petrol rather than diesel? Would you recommend the new Focus estate?

Though the new Focus estate offers an excellent combination of ride comfort, handling and economy, a brilliant solution would be a Honda Civic 1.8i. This video shows you why: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-civic-...o
I got 45mpg so a diesel does not have a very significant fuel economy advantage. Not having tested this car since 2006 I had forgotten about it, which was a mistake. No other hatchback offers such a commodious low, flat-floored loadspace.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.
Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.

As good as the hatchback. Great to drive and very refined. Upmarket and comfortable interior. Usefully large boot. The best looking estate this size.
