Mark 7 VW Golf question

[Shooter McPowick]

If youre a bit of a badge snob, how about the 3 Series BMW saloon (F30)

Wifes 320d will easily do 60-65mpg on a run 70 if you really try hard, £30 a year tax and insurance was cheap for us at £280 a year (we have max no claims).

Push Trolley and clubs fit in with plenty of space for a few smaller items like a small amount of grocery shopping.

Amazing how many cars require the driver (or more) to be removed before they'll take a bag. I have a tiny Mazda MX-5 (mk2) and I and can get my bag, (pull) trolley) and shoe bag in the boot without a problem. On the other hand, it's covered in rust and my right knee gets wet when it rains.

That'll be because modern crash test standards require that even the tiniest micro car must be able to withstand being rear-ended by an artic. So they beef up the wheel arches massively and lose boot space. The only answer is a bigger car than you need, or an estate version of a small car where the boot space extends far enough behind the wheel arches.

I've got the new shape i30 (Hyundai) diesel and my boot comfortably stores my cart bag without the need to remove the driver + my push trolley and assorted other bits and bobs quite comfortably without resorting to having to put down the seats.

You couldn't put a weekly shop on top of it right enough.. I'm doing 59mpg on 70/30 mix of urban/mway

Interestingly parkers gave me some information that i was shocked at I thought the Merc A class had a very small boot.

We have an A class, I can't fit a cart bag in the boot! It is tiny!
