Car makers don't make cars for practicality, they make cars that they think people want to buy. It's all form over function.

One person's 'ample' is another person's 'insufficient'. I sometimes have to carry some bulky, tall squarish items and in a V70 or XC70 I can get them in with the rear seats up, barely an inch or three from the bottom of the tailgate. In the V90 I suspect I'd have to have the rear seats down because they would have to be pushed several inches forward to avoid touching the tailgate glass.

Out driving I will see SUV after SUV, Kia after Kia, Golf after Golf, Audi after Audi, Beemer after Beemer. Will I see another mid-noughties XC70? Perhaps once a month. Great for dogs and stuff, and it's not the end of the world if she gets a scuff or a ding.

Spotted this
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/vol...o-estate-cars/ Never driven any of them haha. I wonder, those of you who have driven them, which is the best?

Sadly, that article is behind a paywall. I'm certainly not going to give the Torygraph any money just to read it. Anyone care to provide the list of six?

Thanks for that.
Six of the best and no V70? (850 does not count!) And it chooses 140 over 240 estates. The Torygraph demonstrates, yet again, why nothing it publishes can be trusted. ;-)

The V60 isn't that bad, as close as you're going to get to a flat back in a modern car.
Both the V60/90 are not that much smaller in boot space compared to an XC70 either.
