Dodge caravan

 

Chrysler Town & Country

 

ebay ramp

 

The Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler Town & Country is a good alternative. It has stow and go seating (option), no need to take the seats out. A ramp (ebay) will let you push your cart in.

It is currently very cheap due to the fact that Chrysler/Dodge is changing it for 2008.

They are selling for $16k plus tax. (Chrysler Town & Country, base model) list is $22K

lol, with all the taxes we have, that same car costs us about 45000 euro. Thats around 39k us. Plus one liter of fuel, ( liter not gallon ) is about 2 bucks.

 

I drive a Mercedes V220. Its a nice van, and second hand not that expensive. For europian standards that is

Erwin,

If you're looking for small. I would recommend a TOYOTA MATRIX. The back seats fold down allowing for a Magliner JR and all my cases to fit with room for additional gear. My windows are tinted. It get 34 MPG HW and 28 city. Also I can take parkway or non commercial routes.

 

Con: You can't role in and out.

 

It works great for me.

 

Best,

Aaron

They are great if you keep them for 35K miles and less than 3 years, the transmissions are CRAP

Jens... we are living in California US of A...

 

Diesel? Yeah right... Premium Unleaded... the expensive stuff.

 

 

Also I changed my mind... I want one of those: 12 Cylinder, 650 bhp... and it's a Golf... Who cares that the cart and the rig doesn't fit in it... I have to sell it anyways to pay for the gas...

Or you could go the other way and try this

The tow hitch might be a bit trickey though.

The Lupo, a 3 liter car from VW... it had even a magnesium steering wheel to save weight... unfortunately they secede production... because of lake of interested. It was ahead of it's time. They should try it now...

Though Chevy stopped making them in '05. Their are plenty around in all sorts of options. But Aside from an SUV or a Wagon. I would look at the Chevy Astro van. They made a v6 AWD version and you can get them in commerical versions, with limited windows and cages.
