My Long demo 8 fits in the back of my Mk2 TT with the wheels off and the rear seats down.

Our Peugeot Partner van literally swallows bicycles, total number not tested, but you seem to just be able to keep putting them in, one after another.

My 110 'station wagon' on the other hand ... will take three, but only with some of the second row of seats out (which in my truck - is easier than messing about taking bicycle wheels off). I might be able to squeeze another one in, but couldn't then carry it's rider.

Core - i've just sold my Golf as it was a bit of a faff getting the bike in the back. Bought a a Kia Sportage 2.0 diesel, does 36-39 mpg, its not particularly long but nice and wide and the boot floor is level with the lip so sliding the bike in is easy

Saw a cyclo cross bike packed into the back of an Aston Martin DB9 today at a cross race. Not every day you see that...especially here in Germany!

Galaxy.
Loads of room.
Not the most reliable vehicle, but as a caravan dragging, kid hauling, bike lugging bus, it's great.
And does 35mpg most of the time.

New Galaxy.

Boot, Islabike 26" or most other 26" HT, and fortnight of family gear for holiday. Seats still go forward if needed some more.

Yeah, it's a Renault 5 made to look like a BMW M Coupe.

I was quite proud of 3 people and 3 bikes in an old style 3 door corsa. I don't think it was too uncomfortable either.

2010 C-Max

the wheels have to come off because the rear seat design is stupid!
i can probably squeeze 3 bikes in there but it means i can only have 2 passengers in the car

i don't drive but when my wife went car shopping, i had two requirements - the fat fronted jones had to fit in the back and the car can't be maroon coloured (football reasons).

our shiney new fiat 500 works a treat on both count!

Not entirely relevant, but I was thrilled to discover this weekend that my Berlingo will accommodate a fully built and ludicrously big Matchless G3.

I've not quite worked out how I'd strap it down though...

Now that's cool.

This maybe less so:

Medium 2013 Kona Process in an Astra estate. Bit snug with the post up and the back wheel in, usually drop it and take both wheels out.
I have a picture somewhere of three bikes in there and the smaller rear seat up. It wasn't pretty, and I wouldn't want to be back there, but they went in.

Trying to put my bike with full mudguards in the car has always been a nightmare.
With our new car the middle seat folds away and can now transport it easily.
Grand c max.

How does this count?

18 fat bikes on one car ๐Ÿ˜€

And no, it is not in USA, far from there. Not even Western Europe ๐Ÿ™‚
To be precise Chocho?owska Valley in Polish Tatry mountains ๐Ÿ™‚

Cheers!
