The guy wants a bigger car, whether he could make do doesn't really matter now....
For comparison sake my focus estate isn't much bigger in the boot than my Octavia hatchback was overall and is definitely smaller in the back, though that's partly down to the massive Recaros in mine.
I wouldn't jump from a focus to an Octavia, it would still bring with it the mild annoyance of having to think where stuff was going to go (I'd still need a roof box even with an Octavia estate if went anywhere for a few days with dog in tow as well as the kids) - a Superb however would deal with absolutely anything you wanted to do pretty easily and they're a much nicer car inside.
