Mainly insurance and running costs. I could be completely wrong, but assuming fuel costs on an estate will be more plus when i have run them through the gocompare etcs of this world they are usually £250-300 more on the insurance.
Fuel costs - nope, not noticably. In smaller estate-from-hatch cars the estate "bit" adds bugger all to the weight of the car. Insurance - possibly for you, I'm not sure, but it didn't add anything when I was looking (similar age, more NCB). Not to say it hasn't changed. Diesel adds some, I'll give you that.
Hmmm...am i going to have to start a new thread about which estates for putting bike in 😉
why is a estate out of the question?

I've only had my license 3 years and is first time having my own insurance, am 28.
but on my 306 diesel estate i pay £400, that wasnt much more than the punto my brother insured and he is 7 years older than me and has had a license for over 10 years. I think maybe the 306 is an anomaly though.
fuel cost same as the little 1.2 punto.
Any car with a roof rack. Get the car that suits and a rack for the bike.
