Check out the new Honda Civic Estate. It's a golfer's dream car.

Rear seat bases fold up allowing you to sit your golf bag upright. Also has a false floor in the boot as the fuel tank is under the front seats so I imagine you can do the same there.

I love how people are suggesting cars when it is clear it has already been ordered. Not sure how the boot sizes compare, but I can get my Sun Mountain Micro-cart and cart bag in the boot of my Astra hatchback with no issues, so my vote would be the Sun Mountain. http://www.cgdiscountgolf.co.uk/Sun-Mountain-Micro-Cart-Silver-P3969.aspx

The current issue of GM has a trolley test in it and our testing included a boot test. Smallest of the push models was the Motocaddy M1 Lite (RRP £149) and the Big Max IQ+ (£199.99).

I think you'll need to forget the clicgear 3.5. I have one, and it is a great trolley, but it is not small.
I manage with a fiat panda 100hp though, so I think you're making a bit of a meal of this. Methinks you just wanted a new trolley anyway...

Swapping my A1 for an A4 Avant S-Line Quattro at the weekend so I'll have acres of room now.:thup:

we was looking to swap my 09 plate Mondeo for a new A5 hatchback a few months a go. But we were unable to get both bags and two trollies in the boot of it, something I can do quite easy in my Mondeo. Really gutted as I had set my heart on it 
However even though my Ford is not as fun as the Audi its still a good car and ideal for a golfing couple!

Couldn't lay a bag or two on the backseat?
Not buying a car because your golf bag won't fit in the boot is ridiculous in my opinion. I can fit 2 people, 2 bags and 2 trolleys in a new 2 door fiesta. My pal even drives with his golf bag strapped in the passenger seat of his mx5, with the roof rolled down! If worst comes to worst just get a locker?

Bit put of by the small wheel base of the Motocaddy. PP of mine had one and it was constantly blowing over (with the brolly attached) in fairly mild wind.
My Clicgear 2.0 was unfazed.
Still i guess its just the compromise you make when looking for "compact"

I had an ST220 a few years back.
Your not wrong about the boot size. Absolutely mahoosive. Far bigger than that of the E60 5 series, in a smaller class of car.
Swallowed all my gear no problems.
Still miss that car, it was a cracker.
Was viewing a 14 plate A6 saloon on the weekend and i did comment that the boot was small in appearance. The 4 series has a decent boot for its class i think.
Similar to the A5, if you dont mind RWD

my company car was a Kia c'eed which is around the same size as a a3, I can get my steward z3 push trolley, Nike performance cart bag and Nike overnight bag in the boot snugly , you just have to take the driver and 3 wood out and lay them across the top.

I will wait until the car arrives before making a judgment but.........
I could get a new trolley out of this!
Opportunity knocks for buying yet more gear

And have absolutely no recourse through insurance if I get all my gear nicked because I left it in plain view? No thanks.
Bearing in mind that the primary reason I have for owning a car outside of commuting is to travel to & from golf courses, what is so ridiculous about buying a car that comfortably takes my golf gear?
What, at every club I visit? Or never play anywhere but my home club?

Like ya style.
I'm just changing jobs and my new car is either a 320d, a4 or insignia. My gut feeling is although the bmw/Audi are better cars, the boot on the insignia is a golfers dream. Coming from a 52 reg mondeo which I could fit three bags in as well as a motocaddy, I miss a big boot,

i really don't want to spend 20k on a car knowing that it was not right for us! I also don't like leaving items on show either! Going to wait until new mondeo comes out later this year!

I'll bite.:rofl:
Take your clubs out when not at the course? I always take mine out to replenish supplies and give the clubs a clean, especially in this weather. Theres no excuse for dirty clubs at the first tee, or a smelly car. It doesn't matter if it's in plain view or not, if it gets nicked you have no recourse anyway.
Any car will comfortably take golf gear. As previously stated, I have one friend with an mx5 and one with a Ferrari 458 (lucky bugger). they can both transport themselves to our golf days, and believe it or not they arrive with clubs and trolleys! I admit they can't take passengers, but even my tiny fiesta can fit 2 people in there golf gear in (can do three people but then the rear view is obstructed)
See point above about removing clubs from car when not in use.
My point is it's much easier/cheaper to not be lazy and bring your clubs with you when your not travelling to and from a golf club. Or even buy a slimline trolley or bag (as the main point of this thread). Than buy a new/different car that you can keep it all in (the way this thread has turned out)

St220 now that's a motor! Bet you was gutted to see it go
The fact i was getting a 370bhp monster 550i helped soften the blow
