Afternoon,

I play bass guitar and often have to transport gear. I'm finding my Volvo S40's boot a little too narrow to fit the case in the boot (126 cm long), so I'm wondering if there any non-estate cars that have abnormally large boots that I could consider?

I'm thinking old cars here, by the way - less than £2,500.

Failing the above, I'll probably get a BMW 320D Touring, but I want to know what normal sized cars are available first!

Cheers,

Wouldn't it be easier to drop the rear seats and choose whichever car works best for you generally?
 
Octavia seems to have a abnormally large boot for the size of the car. I wouldnt be surprised if it had as much space as supposed bigger cars like the A4 Avant or 3 series estate.
 
Why would you prefer a hatchback to an estate?

I'd rather the estate, especially if you often carry large loads. I'd not go for a 320d though at that budget, I'd go for the reliability of a less complex petrol.
 
Quite enjoy my Leon fr st looks sleek and can carry quite a bit. Diesel variants reasonably priced compared to the petrol ones.
 
Thanks for the replies. Might have a look at the Octavia...the other cars don’t massively appeal to me! But the Octavia really looks like it’s the same as the Volvo.

I do put my seats down at the moment, but I want to be able to leave my car without it being obvious that it’s got gear in it.
 
An Octavia has a much bigger/ more usable boot than anything else that's close to golf size including the A4 or 3 series.

Mondeo as above is a bit bigger again and there are also plenty about to choose from

The Mondeo is just such a monster of a car, though maybe I’m being stupid considering an estate isn’t going to be any smaller.

I’ll definitely look at the Octavia. Reliable too, so that’s good.
