Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    Most household appliances I have ever bought fit in a Polo or similar sized cars, if you wrap the back seat bench.

    For > 1.8 m and < 50 kg stuff I use a rack.

    To be fair – the older generations of Polo were on the smaller side of compact cars. I’ve used VW Polo Variant, Mitsubishi Wagon R, Mercedes A, Hyundai I 10 and modern Polo myself.

    If my car is too small, I ask family/friends/neighbors or rent a van.

    Most shops that sell big appliances offer a delivery service as well.

      Yea. Appliances were part of my question. Lumber is a bigger issue. Or house goods. Construction needs a bed or a van. Which some do use.

        People also use a trailers. You can tow stuff with most types of cars no problem once you fit a tow bar.
