What small estate car?
I have 2005 1.6 Ford Focus Estate and am considering a change soon.
I'd like another estate car with a bit more power as the Ford is a bit slow to pick up and struggles a bit on hills.
Otherwise it's fairly comfortable with good steering and brakes although a tad noisy even though Michelin Primacy's are fitted.

The 2004 - 2008 Focus was criticised for road noise. The 2008 - 2011 facelift is much better. But the 1.6 engine is still a bit slow and the 2.0 just isn't very nice. A small turbo better, such as a Golf or Octavia 1.4TSI 122.

Well thought of by owners. Huge boot. Spacious and comfortable cabin. Reasonable to drive. Efficient Greenline TDI models.
Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
