Here for rides.
Saab 9-5 estate sportwagon thingy. Loads around for bangernomics money.
Thanks for all the input, although some ideas about what £2k will get are optimistic!
The bike won't go in the Picasso without the saddle off but that's no hassle - the same would be nice. Will look out for Saabs. OH used to havea 900 and loved it.
We gave a Roomster some serious consideration but we didn't have the budget for one at the time, hence getting the Saab. I still wouldn't turn one down if one happened along in our lives. I wouldn't mind a Yeti either. They are a great drive and will fit bikes and dogs in while towing the caravan.Skoda Octavia estate with the 1.4TSI engine. Big big boot, comfortable and can achieve 50mpg on long runs. I reckon 3 bikes would go in with their wheels off and still get 4 people in it.
The other that springs to mind is the Skoda Roomster 1.2TSI. Remove 1 rear seat and I think you might squeeze 3 bikes and 3 people in. 50mpg economy and cheap to run.
tbh if you're tall, I'm six-two, and want to carry bikes upright then, ime, there ain't many cars you can put a 700c, 29er or even a 26" mtb in the back of without removing/dropping the seatpost. My old Kangoo with the rear seats out is the only one I've owned which did. A Multipla will too, iirc, with the bonus of three seats up front.Thanks for all the input, although some ideas about what £2k will get are optimistic!
