Our Skoda Octavia estate does too. Indeed, it's a brilliant load carrier lacking only the slightly higher headroom of the Sport. The load bay is longer and about the same width too.

The lack of a flat load bay in the new Sport is just bizarre. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Come on, we have to settle... Laughing

The good thing is that, not having the bottom of the seats folded down, you have more space in length! Thumbs Up

That picture makes it even worse.

The other thing...when it isnt flat you cant put the same load on the seats without it crushing the seat underneath Mike
