Which Czech estate (or alternative)?

What's wrong with it? I have the Sync 3 and it works very well. Far better than my 2016 Octavia's was.

I haven’t the foggiest: I’m somewhat of a Luddite, I’m afraid… It’ll be the wife’s car, and she claims it doesn’t meet her technological needs (whatever the heck they are…).

Good choice! Nearly went to view one of these a couple of weeks ago with approx 7k of options. Be warned, tyre costs are quite steep on these for what they are, a full set of PS4 or F1A5 will set you back over £700.

Interesting: thanks for the heads-up. I’ve just spotted the 19” alloys. I suspect it’ll be mid-range tyres at best when/if the time comes to replace them, so not quite the cost of a full round of MPS4s or similar, but still expensive for the type of car…

If you can stretch a little bit, show your Mrs one of these. I did that 25 years ago for our young family, and still using them now.

The good news is that she liked the Superb enough to enter negotiations. The bad news is that the dealer didn’t budge sufficiently to put it in budget: allegedly there’s “a lady from Liverpool” who’s very keen…

We’ll make a final offer tomorrow and go from there.

Rather tediously (and predictably), Mrs S has decided that she didn’t want to change cars, and that her Mini Cooper S can continue to be a family car…

I give up.
