Small car with lots of boot space

8 replies

I currently have a SEAT Ibiza but it only has 3 doors and i fancy a change. I'm fed up of getting my baby out of the back. All the cars that i've looked at so far seem to be wider which i'd like to avoid as i'm rubbish at parking and have a fairly narrow drive.
I liked the Fiat Grande Punto but the boot space is only enough for a few small pushchairs.
Thanks.

We can get a Loola in the back of a Hyundai Getz

Don't get a Fiat. Every single Fiat owner I have spoken to have said they are good to drive, but are unreliable.
However, the boot on my brother's Punto (not a Grande) can fit my Pliko and all the detritus that comes with and it's certainly not a small pram by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm also on the hunt for a small car with a large boot, maybe a VW Polo, but I'm going to shop around.

I have got a Peugeot 207 (5 door) and the boot is huge. God knows re prams fitting in but it can get 2 suitcases in and a whole months Sainsbos shop.

My mum has a Honda Jazz which is great for boot space. We've borrowed it a couple of times for holidays as it was a far more practical than our supposedly bigger car.

I have a grande punto and it's fab. It's been our only car for the last two years and it has gone like a dream - much different to fiats I've had in the past! We've driven to Holland and the South of France in it (only 2 of us, mind) and at its last service, it just needed one minor repair and new tyres. I've never even had a warning light on it.

The only problem I have with mine is also that it's a 3 door, and I won't be able to get a baby seat in and out of the back when I need it to do that. So later this month I'm swapping it for a 5 door model. Although I have to see how the pushchair fits in the boot, with any other stuff I may be carting around at the time. I'm sure it will be fine though, judging by the amount of rubbish we can take camping with us!
