Another vote for the Honda Jazz. The placement of the petrol tank under the front seats together with the engine put in sideways are the reason it has more interior room for its exterior dimensions than any other smallish car. It does struggle up hills a bit though, and that's before you put any passengers or camping gear in....

Was that the 1.2?

My 1.4 even towed my little caravan and various trailer tents with no problems

I've got a Jazz too and I went last year with me and the 2 kids. Great on the way there but had to take OH on the way back and so the tent had to go in my parents car. We are getting a roof box this year (and our other car is a mondeo which is great for a weeks holiday) so the Jazz should be fine for a weekend.

Actually, I love my Jazz because it has SO much room in side and the folding seats are brilliant. It is very economical (I have a 1.2) but I agree that it struggles a bit on hills when it is loaded up. I get 50-55mpg or more on a long trip.

I either go camping by myself or with 1 other person but I take my smart for2. ( I'm sure I must win the award for taking the smallest car camping).

I go camping on a motorbike, sometimes with a pillion!

Reading the various threads everyone makes do with the space they have and if you had the biggest car in the world you'd still fill it up

I take a Kyham freelander BUT have taken a Sunncamp Orbit XL before now (see gallery for how big that one is)

I don't think you need to worry as you are always going to have more luggage room than me

Last year we had twin six year olds and ourselves in a 3 door corsa with bakrak and roof box, carrying kitchen, stoves Diablo600, 2 airbeds, 4 sleeping bags, table, chairs, clothes, kitchen stuff etc.

We bought a Touran this year!

Plus new roof rack, new moon chairs, blankets, and can take more clothes etc......

Trailer next I think!!!!

My last car was a Xantia but when the 4 of us went camping I had to buy roof bars!!

I've now got a Berlingo!!! Fab boot and excellent for packing stuff in it. I got a dog guard with the car so if I want to fill it to the top I can!!???
