Until December was a Skoda Octavia VRS diesel superb car could fit absolutely everything in trolley, bag, holdall and still have room to fit the weekly shopping. Alas got rear ended 2 days before kent meet and the car is no more!
Now it's currently a Peugeot 207 and can fit naff all in it, carry bag in boot with woods and hybrid removed which have to go on back seat with my holdall no point taking trolley in it as would involve folding seats down.
Looking for a new car in the summer now insurance has come trough for my Skoda and first thought is boot space and getting golf gear in.

Bought an older Merc estate specifically for the golf and dog, so it can get as dirty as it likes, nothing goes near Merc No1.

Skoda Octavia L&K Estate. Loads of space in boot, but only ever me and son or me and Father In Law in it. Fits everything in boot, no need to drop back seats.
Just a quick question in relation to the Honda Accord can you genuinely fit in 5 bags and all the other gear without folding the back seats down. Must be small bags.......... I have a mate with an old Volvo 740, biggest boot I've ever seen and he can only get 4 bags in with gear before needing a guard up or seats down for the trolleys

Astra, bought before I started playing golf, fortunately I have a locker at the club, when playing away clubs have to lie on back seat. Only problem with that is I have to drive straight back home as I wouldn't like to leave my car parked somewhere with the clubs on view.

A hearse.
Otherwise known as a Chrysler 300c touring, in black.
The boot is ok, but like most American cars, the exterior is massive, and the interior is squeezed. No idea how they do that.

Mondeo Titanium estate , great car to drive and bags of room for clubs
I had the 4.6L V8 X5, thirstiest car I've ever had (ever invented).
Yup same as mine, got it 4 years ago and love it but as you said it is a thirsty cow round town averaging 12. Managed 22 the other day collecting the new family pup from up country haha.
I love the engine and the wife loves the colour (estoril blue) and size of it.
Will be gone this year though as the need for huge rear bench size has gone as we only need the one car sea and one booster seat now compared to the 3 car seats when it was bought.

12mpg!!!!!!!!!!!! frugal motoring then
Worth it when overtaking or joining the motorway, 350 bhp has its uses The 310 horse impreza is positively sipping it at 28-30 when pootling along.
Thinking about swapping it in for an estoril 530d or 330d as the wife will still be the main driver in it and 30+mpg sounds quite tempting.

Any problems getting the clubs in the boot ?
I have a 15 year old Alfa 156, and my clubs fit in just perfectly. Had it from new, but should last me out.:mmm:

Mine was Estoril Blue with cream interior. Morning cold starts were awesome, massive bark with a slight shudder throughout the car. If I was ever in the market for a 4x4 again, I would like to try a Escalade wit some 22's.

VW Passat Sport. Until recently a 306hdi. Notice that a lot of people in this thread have good cars, people with, erm, not so good ones staying away!
I would have put 306 if I still had it
