And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    I used to haul two dirtbikes on a large trailer

    I have neither the storage options for, nor the interest in owning, a large trailer. I do have the option of selecting a vehicle which best suits my needs while fitting in my garage. I suspect that, were children and sports not part of the equation, I’d be perfectly happy with my Volt.

      Oh, I didn’t own or store the trailer. I rented it when I needed it and just had a little hitch rack to take one bike most of the time. If I needed to only take two dirtbikes I’d have got a folding bike trailer which takes up hardly any space.

      My point was that my midsize hatchback had the same internal space for taking things around as your SUV, just with less weight and fuel consumption. Unless your kids are larger than adult sized and you have five of them?

        Fair enough.

        I’ve yet to see this bear out. I have a midsize hatchback - a Chevy Volt - which does not have close to the same space. There is an argument to be made for fuel consumption there, though.

          I don’t know how big a volt is, they’re not sold here. How about if I likenned it to a 1995 Civic 5 door? I had one of those and it could carry nearly as much.

          The discussion was about large oversize cars, so that’s what I was comparing the Mondeo to.
