The Superb Estate manages to successfully combine the talents of the hatchback with an even bigger load area, and that's why we named it Best Estate Car in our 2012 Car of the Year Awards. It's still easy and comfortable to drive, but boasts 633-litres of boot space – and that's with the rear seats up. Fold them down and there is a mammoth 1,865-litres of space available - no rival comes close. There's still a brilliant range of engines on offer, with the most frugal being the 140bhp 2.0 TDI diesel, claiming 52.3mpg. Then there's a range of petrol engines, including the 170bhp 1.8 TSI unit. From the driver's seat, the Estate is just like the hatch, meaning comfortable seats, plenty of space and excellent buid quality. The only difference is a small button that opens the boot from the inside.
