I've got a Nissan Note at the moment* and I can get a bike in easily, although the front wheel has to come out. I could probably get two in easily enough.
One of my claims to fame was that I managed to fit a Trice Q:
into a Smart Roadster:
*I'm thinking of changing it for a BMW...
the bikes bigger than the car! sure you didn't fit the smart roadster on the trice q?
my parents have had 3 mondeos (they are on their 3rd now) and before that a sierra sapphire so they are hardcore ford fans!
all have been dead reliable, the last one went to the crap due to the rear suspension starting to go and MAY need it changing to pass the next MOT, this was the original suspension and everything majorly mechanical was original and had never had a single problem........ it had over 210,000 miles on the clock! and it towed a caravan weighing over a ton and 5 people and a dog and all luggage up and down welsh mountains every year and never complained
i expect you could fit 3 bikes and 3 people in if bikes were lying flat on top of each other or with wheels off maybe standing up.
only 2 things i don't like about them is they feel rather low down (if you are used to vans and trucks etc) so i find it is the only vehicle i suffer anything like feeling ill in and being 6 foot (tallest in family even taller than parents) i tend to end up smacking my head on the door frame as i get in and have almost knocked my self out a couple of times (again used to taller higher up vans and trucks) and especially when in the back i have the kick the door in to get out with size 12 or 13 boots on!
also i don't really like the fact that they have such fast acceleration if you want to use it even though under normal circumstances it is fine and dead smooth (i know it's weird but again i think it comes from being used to vans and trucks)
