saab 95

Estate versions aren’t always as versatile as they should be – they’re usually good to drive, but their practicality suffers because the big boot was thrown on as an afterthought. The 95 estate is an exception. It’s one of the few that provides a proper load area, and, as such, it’s more than just a ‘lifestyle’ load-carrier. The cabin is roomy and comfortable. It can’t match its German rivals on the quality or the classiness of their interiors, but it’s well built. True, it isn’t as sharp to drive as the equivalent BMW or Mercedes, but that doesn’t stop it being very capable in its own right. The handling is perfectly acceptable, the ride is terrific and refinement is up there with the best in the class.

Its biggest strength, though, is value for money. The 95 is a good deal cheaper to buy than its German competition, and it won’t cost the earth to run.
