Can't get used to a saloon

[stu9]

I know i haven't had it long at all but I can't get used to having a saloon.
I had one many years ago and sold it too. I thought i could get used to having one again but find the estate to practical especially having the dog.
Yes i could put her in the back seat but really not keen on it.
I know the back seats on this model fold down like an estate but there is still a high "lip" to put things in unlike the estate just flat.

Yes, there's no going back once you've had space in the back.

I know i like the car albeit it needs money spent on it but the practicality of it for me is doubtful.

David said it needed a right back shock as it was leaking. I was reading up on it, a bloody pain to be honest. I know the suspension is or should be about the best in a car etc but the cost and hassle i don't think I could be bothered. Maybe if it was the estate and was keeping it then and only then I would get it done, but the way it is i doubt it.

Well put

Some do adjust to them.

I never liked estates. I recently bought one. I learned. There indeed is no going back.

My guess is you have no dog etc or if you do you have another car or goes in the back seat.

Farmers carry their livestock in trailers, if you have a tow bar you could consider one. Not sure your dog would like it though.

Mrs P was not sure about replacing her C4 (hatchback) with the 308 estate but after a few outings she would not go back.

I recently walked passed a Jaguar saloon with its boot open and was surprised by how small it was. I thought they were paying all that money and they could not get much in, never mind a bike in the back.

I was kind of getting used to the floatyness but that was it nothing else.
