VW Golf Variant as a suitable alternative to Skoda Octavia Combi

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.
