They are surprisingly good, used to do London- versailles in a 2l diesel poverty spec cloth seated one but still has electric seta raise and lower. Seat and column really adjustable to find the perfect position. Handle quite well too and power steering is really good. Ford learnt alot from owning volvo and Jag.
Non auto route so mainly normal roads with a few dual carriage ways.

I would think most euro wagons would get a bike in the boot with the cover closed if you have the wheels out. Even the Fabia estate i had would but i had to take the seatpost out too, but then again it's probably the smallest wagon you can get.
We have had every VW or Skoda wagon going and never struggled to get bikes and kit in with the cover closed, the Superb Dad had would swallow a 54cm road bike with both wheels still fitted.
Have you had a proper look at a legacy yet?
