No one says you have to buy a smaller Car..Seat Toledo purchase is not compulsory #-o

Seat do not seem to be offering a decent sized Saloon or even a decent sized Estate car equivalent to say a Skoda Octavia or a Superb, I think they are missing an opportunity here, I know the Way forward seems to be SUV and Crossover styles...but they are not suited to our trade as they tend to be rather miserly with their luggage space..
