I am not sure that it does but you should also look at the Mitsubishi
Colt because the rear seats fold right up behind the front seats and
presumably leave a lot of room for a bike. It is also a fairly tall
vehicle and very economical (claims 5.5 lit per 100K). I only know
because have been looking at the same vehicles

It is right in your price range

yeah i tried 1 bike in a 3 door barina but my knees were around my
ears.

In the Golf how much room did you have, eg enough for some bags? And
was it a 5 door?

Also as unbelivable as it sounds i saw 3 full size bikes put in the
boot of a commadore, nothing on the backseat. It like i big
dismantleing session. too hard i want to be able to push down the
seats and throw it in.

I've had 4 54cm roadies in the 5 door Golf (front wheels off only).
