Does anyone know if you can fit a road bike in a Fiat Bravo boot?

[claroj]

Am looking at changing my car and wondered if anyone knows if you can fit a road bike (with or without front wheel on) in a Fiat Bravo?

I can get my bike with both wheel still on in my Peugot 307 but Bravo looks a bit thinner. I have asked on a Fiat forum but apparently no cyclists on there so have come to find you all here!

Thanks

We have a Honda Jazz 1.3 and am able to fit my hybrid and my wife's MTB in without taking the front wheels off... I would think the Fiat Bravo is slightly bigger but not sure. When we purchased the car the Dealer said we would be able to fit the bikes in obviously with the rear seats down. Ask the dealer he/she may know.

I'm sure you can with the seats down, assuming it's one of the newer hatchbacks and not the old saloon version. I've got bikes in older puntos before. I reckon you could get one in without taking the wheel off but may make it easier if you do. I can't see why the width of the car would make a difference. I have a fabia estate, not a wide car, although pretty cavernous with the seats down (I got two roadbikes in recently with wheels, a flat bar and a drop bar)

Take your bike to the dealership and try to be sure

If it's the current version, then yes.

I have a 2007 Bravo and can get a Boardman road bike (size large) in easily by removing the front wheel and dropping the rear seats. Getting a Cube hybrid/MTB thing in takes a bit more fiddling but can still be done with the front wheel off.

If you can fold the rear seat down, almost any small car will take a road bike. I have a Kia ceed and it takes all types of bikes with or without removing wheels. It takes 2 if I remove front wheels. If I were you I will take the bike and put it and see.

My mates brother gets one in his Peugeot 107.

I've got two bikes in the back of a Citroen C3 with the back seat down and the wheels still on before, although it was a bit of a faff.
One goes in fairly easily.

No idea about a bravo but you could get my 54 and 55cm bikes in the back of my old 3dr Toyota Starlet just by removing the front wheel and folding the back seats down, so I reckon you'll be ok.

I have an Aygo and they don't come much smaller than that. If I take both my wheels off I can get it in the back either with the seats down, or across the back seat by turning the frame upside down (and its a 58 frame) I put a towel or carrier bag over the jockey wheel to stop getting oil on my ceiling (lesson learned). The Toyota garage actually let me try it before I bought it bless em.

Ps it is a 5 door Aygo which makes all the difference. Don't think its possible with a 3 door
