  I remember the Opel models that also came with an estate car version. I think there were also the Mazda 626 and Nissan Bluebird back then.

  Toyota Crown Mk Is were phased out by late 2002.
  
  There were Opel Omega stationwagon and sedan taxis in the early 1990s. Sedans operated by Comfort, stationwagons by the then-SCC. Toyota Coronas and Mk I Nissan Cedrics (with a small window behind rear door) were in abundance.

  I think Comfort also had a handful of those Opel Omega estate cars. If my memory doesn't fail me, they were the first to bring in such cabs.
  
  Anyway, I don't think there are any estate cars in Singapore used as taxis these days.

  Estate cars are quite rare in Singapore nowadays...
