If (god forbid) I was newly single and wanted a runabout with the capacity for occasional bike lugging I would get a used smart 'for 2' cos they're dinky and they've got special holes specifically for a rear rack:
Small is beautiful (IMO)...
Where's the rest of the car?

Bolted onto someone else's faux by four costing them more to own and run... 😉
Civic or Jazz with magic seats and sack off the towbar.
The correct answer.
Or even keep the towbar for when you are planning longer trips and can't get everything in the boot.
Or when you get a new partner.
Is the yeti actually practical? The boot looks tiny from the outside, and the high floor must loose a load of space
Berlingo - the car that nobody wants yet everybody needs.
I’ve got a smart same as the black cabrio one(giggly 1litre turbo version) wiv the official 2 bike rack, actually surprisingly practical and fun.

Yes it is practical in my experience but of course it depends on what you wanting to use it for regularly but its suited us fine as a family of four for day to day driving, dump runs and EU holidays. It may look small from the outside but the ceiling is high and the rear of the car has a squared off rear profile so there is a decent amount of useable space.
You can have my VW Transporter Kombi, 71 plate, perfect for your requirements. To you, a snip at 60K.
Suzuki Vitara AWD fitted with semi-off-road tyres because I regularly drive down unmade roads and tracks, ice and snow isn’t uncommon plus the roads here are mainly singletrack and being able to get off soft verges is handy when encountering numbty drivers who can’t find reverse. Enough room in the boot for 2x dogs, but poor as a bike carrier.
I’ve also got a 1974 VW Bay camper that spends most time as a garage ornament.
@jasonkingss - what made you revive an old thread? Odd posting history...
