Do you need a big boot?

[Deleted member 15717]

Currently have an Octavia, and it swallows most things.

Potentially looking to change to a Karoq, and although the boot is a teeny bit smaller, it should be fine. I had a VW Golf demo car, and managed to get my trolley and a bad in the boot (removing the woods), so it can be done!

It's all about the width.

I have a 2nd car shorter than a smart, but I can get a trolley bag with driver in sideways without issue.
Previously I had a fiat multipla which was the same length as a focus but could fit 4 adults, bags and trolleys without removing a single driver...

Agree it's all about the width.

Once hired a focus estate on holiday. and we were able to fit 4 stand bags in the boot. Was very impressed.

The Audi A6 Avant is absolutely perfect for golf travel!!

I cant recommend it highly enough, huge boot and loads of space in the car too.

I think a lot of car manufacturers are missing a trick by not making their boots just a couple of inches wider, by removing unnecessary bulky panels. As pointed out in post 41.

Particularly the RS6 if you are in a hurry.

Couldn’t agree more. I won’t buy a car unless the bag will go in without removing any clubs.

If only I could afford one.....

And the smaller boot

I don’t struggle for space in my Mitsubishi Barbarian. 8 bags and a few trolleys plus suitcases etc often go in there on our various odyssey’s

I have the golf r hatchback at the moment so looking for something a little bit bigger and the Skoda comes in a bit cheaper which is always nice. Not sure if the Skoda is any bigger as I haven't checked but fancy something different this time.

It would be a dereliction of duty if VW made a Golf that didn't fit a set of clubs in the boot!

My first three cars were all Golfs (mark II,III, IV) and never had any issues.

With car a Pegeuot 308 estate.

I have never really had so much stuff that it not fit in with the rear seats folded down.

With two of us travelling to a course it happily takes my Grass Hopper buggy, an electric trolley a couple of sets of clubs and loads of ancillary stuff. Would probably easily take another two sets of clubs for others travellling in another car. I still miss my 800 series because I used it all the time with the 3rd row of seats removed and it would take everything with out the need to turn it in to a 2 seater.

Seat Leon - boot is too narrow

I can fit my cart bag, M3 Pro trolley and shoes in the boot, but I do end up taking out of the bag the longer clubs.

They fit if i take out the woods. The issue with the Golf R is that it is 4WD so the boot is slightly smaller as the floor is raised up to hold the 4wd system.

If the woods don't fit they should call it the VW Pitch&Putt.

Mind you, ive never been able to fit a horse in a Vw Polo.

That's because it is designed to transport mints.
