I'd been bullied into renting a small SUV as we were 4 friends travelling abroad for a wedding. Thankfully the rental car lady had more sense and seeing all our bags threw a Fiat Tipo estate at us. That thing swallowed bags, very impressed.
We're sweating our 10yr old SUV and then moving to an estate.... as long as my wife agrees :)
