estate owners

[lilangel]

just wondered if anyone else considered to put some weight into the rear body to keep it stuck to the ground? or is ur boot always full of stuff, lol. i am also gettin the strut brace, which might help, but just thought that weight would help as the car feels much better when i have the dogs in the boot.....

Never had a problem with handling, full or empty ! always
feels stuck to the road, are your shocks etc in good order ?

No problems with mine......sticks like glue with the eibachs on.....

depends on which model it is. My "life" needs the suspension sorting, but the SRi one I had the other week was SOOOOO much better.

I always have about 10-15 stone of weight in mine. Personally I find the estate handles better than the hatch did, none of the high speed "floating" feeling....

yep everything is, people keeps tellin me its because its an estate, and i always had fast saloons and 4x4s. and that the estate is never gonna handle like a saloon, which i refuse to belive lol....

People who have driven both often say the estate handles better, something to do with the longer floorpan.......

No problems with mine at all, find it quite hard to break traction unless it's soaking wet

hm, maybe its just me than lol

I think my estate handles better than my hatch did !
both Sri's, only difference now is the 19" wheels !
the hatch was a more comfortable ride over bumps.

I find mine ok too, seems to go round bends ok, maybe I am not driving it hard enough though.

no complaints with mine either...although I am getting slower as the fuel gets more expensive
