Dunno, I never understand why they make estate versions of hatchbacks. I mean in ther case of the Nova, surely you'd just buy an Astra?

The Golf estate, surely you'd just buy a Passhat? Etc.

its all about boot space, the amount of stuff i can fit in the estate is unreal

Hes not actually altered the wheelbase or moved any axles, so its merely body modifications. Same principal as fitting a Tigra front end to a Corsa.

Everything stays the same, just the exterior looks.
