IMHO - Much better looking as an estate than the saloon. I don't have anything against the saloon, and I'm sure it's better handling as the shell will be stiffer than an equivilent hatchback, but it just looks less attractive in my view.
What concerns me more is the pricing - 175PS Tourer Sport Nav Auto with Paint, Safety and Auto Cruise - £30k! That seems quite a hike for the brand, given I got a brand new 185PS Sport in March 2012 for £19k.
I know it seems a lot better built, but that seems a stretch into 'compact exec' territory. Hopefully someone will discount it to sensible money after the initial fuss has died down.
