Fair point, but length is also a consideration. Not sure how comfortable my other half would be with an estate, I sold my old V40 for a Polo to get her driving, plus parking is well sought after here. Roomster is, apparently the same Chassis as the Fabia, bit a much higher body. Key is the 'Varioflex' seats which can come right out to leave you with basically a small van.
Edit: ok SUV probably the wrong term.
In my experience small SUV ≠ a lot of space. Most are similar size to a Golf in the boot so I'd be tempted to go for an estate or a larger SUV if you're looking for a big boot to haul stuff around.
