If your shopping list includes a boot that can swallow flat-pack furniture and weekend sports equipment without complaint, the Skoda Octavia Estate is the sensible giant with massive practicality and smart value, while the VW Golf Estate packages similar underpinnings into a neater, more refined drive. Choose the Octavia for space and no-nonsense family life; pick the Golf if you prefer sharper handling and a classier cabin — both are solid buys, so it comes down to whether you want a cargo champ or a better-behaved commuter.
