Howard-
Got to say I think the complete opposite. We have a Golf, a 3yo and a 5yo. While for some trips it's full to the rafters, the reality is it's perfect. And when this one goes I'd probably get another (although EV complicates everything).
I'd love an estate, but in reality for those times I need extra space I just put the roof rack on. The biggest thing holding ours back is that the roof bars are clip on, so only rated to 70kg or something. We used a soft roof box to go to Butlins one year for Xmas, but that was mainly because of all the food and presents. Since having a hard roof box we haven't used it - including long trips down to France. Now we don't have to worry about a travel cot (not that it was massive anyway) it seems even less of an issue.
With kids seats as they are, a wider rear would be good, but for that you seem to need a proper step up to a massive suv or an MPV.
Obvs I can appreciate stevo might need something with a bit more room in the front.

I think Golf / Octavia etc aren't viable as the primary family car
too small? I have been contemplating swapping our Superb for an Octavia when I can afford to trade in, which isn't right now. But perhaps I'd miss the extra space?

Yeah, hence them all coming up as option. The cramped issue is likely why the C4 now appeals. If I didn't need internal auditor approval, I'd probably be on the phone to a dealer right now.
