Anyone got an a5 coupe? Thinking about getting one but not sure how good it is for general bike duties, I like to put bikes in the car with the rear wheel still in but front off. In true STW style the dog is a border terrier.....
Why can't the dog sit in the front?
Let it drive?
I can get the bike in my a4 avant with just the front wheel off, same chassis as the a5. Would only work in the 5 door hatchback though, I think you'd struggle to get the bike in through the boot on the 2 door. Can't comment on space for the dog...
I reckon you'd probably do it, need to do a bit of jiggery pokery to get the angle right to actually get it in the boot, but they're a decent size. Just not for people.
Do the seats fold down ? If so with a little work you might get one in the non-hatchback. A hacthback definitely. I would recommend a Duffbag or similar.
Dog could sit next to the bike and or in the front footwell ?
Yeah they do fold flat in the coupé.
The boot is big BUT the opening is shallow.
The seats do fold but again its still shallow.
Rack or both wheels off would be my suggestion after several Ikea runs in one!
Put the dog on the roof.
Are they sisters?
Got my daughters new bike in my sportback last week, one seat down both wheels off. So probably but not great solution.
