I first heard 'estate' when I bought one from an Australian Officer before me for our year in the UK. It was a Renault 21 Estate, which was so reliable and versatile (massive hauls of good food from Calais) it gave me a very good impression of Renaults. :D

I too had a Renault 21 estate... it was a terrific car :-). The ecu failed and after fitting a new one (very pricey) I lost my nerve and got rid :-(
