Hmm RS4 and Fabia vRS estate........ I think comparing the Audi to the Fabia is one of the wildest statements ever!

Interesting debate - hatch/saloon v estate.

Fabia - hatch

Octavia - estate

Suberb - estate

Roomster/Yeti - n/a!!

I think the only cars that fully pull off the estate is an Audi A4 Avant and most of the Volvo's

I've had loads of people asking me about my estate and quite a few have said it's a cool looking car. I'm happy with it, loads of others like it and for those who don't, do I give a f---? I bought the car for me and no one else.

To be honest, Ema, you're not expceted to "get" estates, they are widely descried to be "manly"

Only because men have no sense of organisation!

Whatever you guys can get into your estates i could get in a city car...try a 7 and half stone german shepherd, 2 passengers, 2 suitcases and a double duvet in a pug 107

Ah, but is that with the seats down?

I feel I am the exception to that rule as I used to work in a theatre, so had to pack 40ft trailers will millimetre precision!

Yeah...

I think that the fact its taken you until November to notice they were even making the Fabia vRS estate is part of its success. Let be honest, Skoda's, even the vRSs aren't supposed to be cool - that is what Seat is for. They're the slightly off the wall choice offering a better blend of practicality, performance, economy.

I can't even think of any rivals to the Fabia vRS estate?

Norman - that's because there are none!

To be honest though, yours looks better because you've done stuff to it. I saw another Fabia Estate here is Scarborough over the summer and it looked pretty good. It was lowered, had aftermarket wheels on, tints and the grill had been painted. They'd spent time 'defrumping' it and had made a good job of it too. My initial comments were about the stock version which isn't going to go down in the history books as a design classic.

In terms of practical attributes, I agree wholeheartedly with those defending their cars as a load lugger/sleeper/family wagon and have weighed up the estate's dimensions myself. It's not big enough for three children and all their stuff, so it's not an option for our family.

It's a bit of a Sally Gunnell is the Fabia vRS Estate.

No spoiler on the estate Octavia vRS

No not on mine, I think that the hatch just looks abit more sportier than my hearse!

Best things about estate are the 2 bag hooks for beer and a lower load area.

I don't think there's much in it space wise...

Nearly forgot how annoying the sliding load cover can be, coming of the rails etc

Superb GOT to be estate! Otherwise you get the back end of an old megane saloon!

That's it exactly! I was trying to figure out which car it looked like. To my taste spoils an otherwise excellent car. I love the estate, hate the saloon.

The Vauxhall Omega was another that just looked odd as a saloon.

What? The Fabia vRS estate is manly yet feminine?

Nearly. It doesn't look very nice, but goes well.

I think that's the general consensus for the MK2 Fabia really, looks bad but goes well

However, I love the look of mine so :p

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

In terms of size yes, they do all match up but looks? :no:

I very nearly bought a v50 instead of the octy, the r-design ones look smart but i wanted another vag but all round great car
