I am sorry you will never sell me on a hatchback if you windsurf. As a petrolhead I sold the 240kw Laser TX3 which all the gear fitted in. It fitted, but it was a fkn pain.
Getting away with the minimum is fine until you want to give a mate a lift to the beach or girlfriend wants to come with you (whilst wife is at home )

I can't understand the logic of "can't park a Commodore/Falcon wagon in the city". 10,000 people will tomorrow.

I am looking to get a new (second hand) car so I can once again go windsurfing.

I have previously had Nissan Pulsars, 3 of them in fact and all N14 Hatches (1990 - 1995) which always fitted my gear inside. I just thew the front seat back and put the back seats down and my gear would fit in no problem.

I always carry minimal gear, 1 board (currently JP Freestyle 100L) and 2 sails.

Can anyone recommend cars that would be suitable ? I have never used roof racks before and it always seem easier to put all my gear inside the car. I am thinking of a Peugeot 307 but not sure if it will be big enough.

Cheers,
O

Agree, no way is it impossible but does make it more difficult.

I got away with a hatchback for many years and never had an issue (except for the Mrs having to sit in the back seat) but I think roof racks will be the solution to that problem this time around.

An outback also sounds interesting...

If I could have only one car (and money was no object)
Audi RS6 Quattro.





...but I'm happy with my Mazdarati.
