Which van to transport bikes in?

I'm sick of high fuel costs and my old Golf only does 34 mpg. I'm also sick of fitting my bike rack and bike and then parading it around the local area. Not to mention the fuel costs soar with the drag of bikes on the back.


I would love a vehicle I could just open the rear doors and roll bike in, close rear doors and go. No removed wheels etc.


What do you guys think of this - a Renault Kangoo, big enough i think to roll bike straight in (2-3 bikes possibly) diesel version does a lot of mpg and with rear windows good visability.

No need, just buy an old MPV like an Espace or similar they can carry motorbikes so pedal bikes will be fine

Think my dad gets 40-45mpg in his 2l scenic

I get about 35 in my swb med roof transit

Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo or Peugeot Partner will all fit the bill.

Any thought on the VW caddy? does 55mpg :beer:

Also another thing, you may want to bare speed limits in mind if you like going fast and live in an area with lots of cameras

Berlingo multispace all the way. Decent ride, cheap insurance,and capable of 50mpg.
