@notjustbikes I currently live in American suburbia and I wouldn't even go with a station wagon. I'm team compact sedan all the way (though what's classed "compact" in the US is definitely not the EU concept of "compact").

Ironically the only thing I've ever had real difficulty buying and bringing home in my compact sedan - my bike. Still, I made it work. Probably easier than it would've been in an SUV without fold-flat seats.
