It’s looking like I’ll need to replace my current car, I’d really like something I can fit my bike inside but don’t want anything huge when it will mostly just be me in it. I know this comes up all the time but I can’t afford anything new so I’d like some suggestions.
Requirements, in order of priority:
1. Less than £3000.
2. Reliable.
3. Can fit an XL 29er inside, ideally with the back wheel on (I can keep using my bike rack but would prefer not to).
4. Not huge.
5. Can seat adults in the back comfortably (without bikes).
At the moment I’m looking at a Jazz but not sure what it’s like with big bikes, considering an estate of some sort but it increases the running costs a lot. I’ve done 2 bikes in the back of a pokey hatchback before but I don’t want the hassle of taking back wheels off and wrestling frames in at weird angles.
