Have a Sportage and it's been great as a fishing car.

Be sure to consider hybrid vs petrol/diesel engine. The hybrids (including Octavia) have reduced capacity due to the battery. So Octavia is 1550 litres vs 1700 (hybrid vs petrol/diesel).
Alternative to consider: Kia Ceed SW. 1694 litres vs the 1700 of the Octavia (so just 6 L difference). Kia comes with 7 year warranty. Had mine for 5 years and it has been excellent (for fishing gear too). Will change it next year, Kia is top of the list (either the outgoing Ceed, or incoming K4).

The Toyota Corrola estate has a 1606L boot with seats down. So still a fair size
By comparison a ford focus estate is marginally bigger at 1650 L
My Octavia estate is 1700L and second only to a
skoda superb 1920L

I looked at my mates one. Great car and fast, but not big enough for fishing . Certaintly no more than a short session.

Ive decided ii need a new estate car. Had an octavia estate for 11 years now but its time to change.
I really fancy a toyota corolla estate self charging hybrid. The boot is decent but smaller than the octavia. Im not sure if all my gear will fit. I have a prestige power barrow which takes a chunk of space. A big fox bedchair, fox frontier x etc etc.
anyone run one and find its big enough for 2 -3 night sessions.

Had a 66 plate Kuga. Liked it so much, i now have a 23 plate Kuga! Fits all my gear nicely.

I have a Skoda Octavia Scout. Biggest boot in its class, and a bit of 4x4 capability when needed. The perfect fishing/family car IMO. I leave my bed chair, barrow and a few bits in the boot all the time so it's easy for me to grab rods, rucksack, bait and food and I'm off fishing in less than 10 minutes.

Subaru Outback. Probably not as refined as my old A4 Avant, but good ground clearance, AWD, reliable and has all the toys and gadgets.

Sounds like he didn't have a clue tbh. I wouldn't have just an electric for regular huge drives (plenty of people do though), but the notion that range drops by 2/3rds on the motorway is complete nonsense. We've got a Mercedes EQC and it does more miles on a 70-80mph motorway run than it does around town/mixed driving.
