Recommend an SUV for a golfer

[Bratty]

SUV's are great if you want an elevated driving position, but often have a compromised bootspace compared to an estate. Some find estate cars less attractive than SUVs, others the reverse.
If you're only basing it on looks, then only ypu cam make that decision.
The Peugeot 3008 and 5008 has a great boot space and is almost always overlooked. My parents love their 2008, but that may be a little small for your purposes.

Skodas famously have large boot space…Octavia I’ve heard is v functional

Yeah but as I said to Lord Tyrion at the weekend, isn’t an Octavia a taxi drivers car?

That is nothing more than a testament to how good they are.

That’s exactly what he said

It's almost as if the Octavia is the answer..........

Not a fan of estates (had a 335d Touring and got rid)… but, I’d have one of these

3008 with just trolley (CT8....sits perfectly vertically under the parcel shelf) and then with clubs. Clubs would sit further in if i could be bothered to invert the wheels on the CT8!!

Minor thread hijack.
What’s your views on estate vs SUV?
My car is up for renewal in November and I’m not sure which way to go but I do know I need a bigger boot than my current Mazda CX 30.
Current favourites are VW Golf estate, Seat Leon estate and maybe a VW Tiguan or similar.

We have both. Wife has a QashQai and loves the "high-up" feeling. I have an Audi RS6 and it sits lower than the QQ. In terms of loading, space, ease, etc. its the Audi for me every day.

I LOVE estates - always had them! And yes, I'd have this too but not instead of my Audi!

Or clean the wheels!

I still have the Citroen Cactus I used for work..
Trolley, bag (with woods and hybrids taken out), shoes, woods in at 45° and still room for the carry bag when it was debatable as to whether trolleys were allowed...
It really is a quality sized boot for the size of car....

I first came across a Cactus as a brand new hire car in Lanzarote years ago. It was really good!

My car detailing OCD is really twitching here!

The look isn't to everyone's taste but it does the job..I'm on my 3rd..

 

[PNWokingham]

i have the Octvia hatchback and is a great car for golf as the boot ius truly massive for size of car - as is the rearseat accomodation - it is boring, predicactable, reliable, cheap to run etc. My horsepower on past 3 cars has gone from 510 to 340 and now 150!!! But it suits needs and i don't have to worry if it gets a scratch etc. Its only real job is getting me to golf.

I have a Merc GLC. Plenty big enough for me. Had an E Class before that, the boot was huge on that too.

I like the flexibility of the "hatch back" on the SUV or the estates.

 

[MACM85]

I have a new Hyundai Tucson and get the kit in the back with no issues.

 

[RichA]

If MrsA wasn't such a car snob I'd trade in my VW Golf and get a Dacia Duster as our second car. She doesn't share my love of utilitarian motoring.

Skoda Rapid.
No need to remove clubs from the bag or wheels from the powakaddy.

OMG, look at the mud on those wheels.

Where else would you expect to see the mud?

With mud like that, I wouldn't go near a course. Wonder what your shoes and trousers end up like?

I can fit 2 bags and 2 trolleys in the boot of my SAAB 9-5 saloon. Unfortunately, they haven't made any cars since 2010.
