As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new car. So far it's between the Focus Estate and Octavia Estate. Both look really good and have tons of space. Can any owners give me their thoughts.
Depends on whether he's after passenger space or boot space, Octavia has a bigger boot and you'd have to cut a lot of corners on spec with the BMW to keep the price close. Even the vRS is under £28k brand new via a broker.320d? Similar space but nicer inside and not massively more expensive

@The1nonly1 , are you looking for brand new or second hand? Do you need a big boot? What other criteria do you have, is your preference for performance, comfort/interior, gadgets etc?
Just a consideration, but do you actually need a full estate? The Octavia hatch has a massive boot and it's more than big enough for pushchairs and suitcases (I know, I've owned two and have two young kids ). It might open a few more options, that's all
But between the Focus and the Octavia, I picked the Octavia.
Just to second how massive the Octavia boot is in hatch configuration. I would still go for the estate I think because why not, but something to keep in mind if you prefer a 'saloon' type vehicle.
Just had a look on their brochure and it's 600L vs. 640L with seats up for the saloon and estate respectively.
Thinking about it, I may not need an estate car and a Hatchback Focus may be big enough for a pushchair and shopping. However I have only owned Fords so don't want to move away from them.
Can you get a 2020 octavia plugin hybrid within budget.was wondering what hybrid options are available
