I'm looking around for a new company car, we tend to stick to VW's etc.
I wanted a skoda octavia scout, but 7 month waiting list for full book price isnt that tempting, especially with the emissions etc.
I got looking at a vRS Estate 170hp diesel, got chatting & brand new on the road price of £18,400.00, which is about £4k off list
No brainer really.
Acid test. Can u stuff an 8ft by 4ft board or fence panel in the back?
I know that can with other cars. Just not my Octavia 1 :(
No idea, nor am i likely to find out :)
Remember, you pay BIK tax on the full list price, not the discounted price....

Err what car can you get an 8x4 in the back without trashing something?

You can't get an 8'x4' sheet in a 110.
Goes in fine if you have the version with a tailgate instead of a central door.
I don't want 8'x4', I want 3m long copper pipe.
And a sub 10m turning circle.
And CdA in top 20 "worlds best" for production car.
Modern cars, with their far-forward, steeply sloping windscreens, are quite good at carrying long narrow things. The current Fiesta can carry pipes 2.6m long internally.
Astra Estate.
Ah, I was assuming you'd want to shut the boot lid.
