Roomy and practical, this is a good choice for towing a medium-sized van, says Euan Doig

KIA OPTIMA SPORTSWAGON (2016-19)

YES, THE WORLD has indeed gone SUV mad these days, it would appear, but for some tow car buyers, those high-riding pseudo-off-roaders simply don’t push the right buttons. In which case, an estate car would make a great option.

If that’s your situation, and you’re also on the lookout to bag a bargain-priced load-lugger that might even have some of the original manufacturer’s warranty outstanding, the Kia Optima Sportswagon is likely to be a pretty fine choice.

What’s it like inside?

Big. As in really big. The two people in the front seats get a huge amount of legroom and headroom, and the seats adjust every which way, so getting comfortable should be no problem at all.
