Sounds like he didn't have a clue tbh. I wouldn't have just an electric for regular huge drives (plenty of people do though), but the notion that range drops by 2/3rds on the motorway is complete nonsense. We've got a Mercedes EQC and it does more miles on a 70-80mph motorway run than it does around town/mixed driving.

Subaru Outback. Probably not as refined as my old A4 Avant, but good ground clearance, AWD, reliable and has all the toys and gadgets.

I have a Skoda Octavia Scout. Biggest boot in its class, and a bit of 4x4 capability when needed. The perfect fishing/family car IMO. I leave my bed chair, barrow and a few bits in the boot all the time so it's easy for me to grab rods, rucksack, bait and food and I'm off fishing in less than 10 minutes.

Had a 66 plate Kuga. Liked it so much, i now have a 23 plate Kuga! Fits all my gear nicely.

Ive decided ii need a new estate car. Had an octavia estate for 11 years now but its time to change.
I really fancy a toyota corolla estate self charging hybrid. The boot is decent but smaller than the octavia. Im not sure if all my gear will fit. I have a prestige power barrow which takes a chunk of space. A big fox bedchair, fox frontier x etc etc.
anyone run one and find its big enough for 2 -3 night sessions.

I looked at my mates one. Great car and fast, but not big enough for fishing . Certaintly no more than a short session.

The Toyota Corrola estate has a 1606L boot with seats down. So still a fair size
By comparison a ford focus estate is marginally bigger at 1650 L
My Octavia estate is 1700L and second only to a
skoda superb 1920L

Be sure to consider hybrid vs petrol/diesel engine. The hybrids (including Octavia) have reduced capacity due to the battery. So Octavia is 1550 litres vs 1700 (hybrid vs petrol/diesel).
Alternative to consider: Kia Ceed SW. 1694 litres vs the 1700 of the Octavia (so just 6 L difference). Kia comes with 7 year warranty. Had mine for 5 years and it has been excellent (for fishing gear too). Will change it next year, Kia is top of the list (either the outgoing Ceed, or incoming K4).
