• Anything else to consider?

    Are you looking for a decent sized estate or just an estate to have some extra boot height to facilitate putting things in/out?

    Passat or Superb will have significantly more load carrying than a 3 series, A4, etc. which are similar in load to a Golf or Octavia (both of which would be better VFM).

  • Volvo V50/70?

    Id be up for a v50. 70 might be deemed too long.

    The latter. I'd occasionally chuck my bike in and would like that to be less of a faff. Don't mind taking a wheel off. My dad had an superb and it was massive.

    We'd rarely be travelling anywhere with 4 people so boot space is more important than rear leg room. I actually started looking for a golf/octavia but didn't think they seemed as good value as a 3 series.

    Mondeo estate

    St220?

  • I fairly regularly put bikes in the boot of my car, the front wheel needs to be removed.

    Next car I buy no matter whether an estate/hatch/saloon it’ll have a towbar! Towbar racks make life soooooo much easier!
