volvo 240
what can compete with that
Very good question. Fwiw the latest/last v70 iteration is very spacious. Better than the previous model up until 2007 was. But not like the 240 I don't think.
Edit: a volvo 745 can, according to a thread on a swedish forum, swallow a 200x120 cm IKEA bed (with the rear seats down obvs). An option perhaps, no idea if they're common in the UK.

Mercedes E class estate,
W124 are big enough to take a fridge-freezer, quite slippery, not wonderful on fuel but probably better than the barn door-like 240.
W210s even bigger and more aerodynamic (better on fuel?), but really like to rust
W211s more of the same, and W212s much much better made. -
Mk1 v70 can. 5 bikes, 5 adults, then on the roof we had a few extra wheels and two other people's luggage in giant soft bag ratchet strapped to the bars. Glasgow to Bristol at speed abd still did 45 to gallon. Much nox and soot though...

Is there an online chart of boot space sizing that incorporates older cars?
I got 5 people and 5 bikes in a volvo 240 this weekend, what can compete with that but be a little more economical?
i don't want a newish car, they all look the same.
