That Stinger is a great looking car that I really wish was not out of my price point

I'll have you know, the rust is appearing on the roof, so no one can see it!!

If you are looking used...the Volvo C30 is sweet (especially with the Turbo and the Manual)...v50s are also good IMHO

Similar to the Mazda and Kia posted, BMW's new grancoupes also have this hatch style.
I've fit an incredible amount of large items into mine that would normally get no where into a car that size.



and one day when it comes to North America, the Audi RS8 Avant. The hatchback or all hatchbacks.

Any opinions on Golfs, Jettas, and Civics from personal experience?
Deciding between the cars below and am leaning towards one of the Golfs but the Jetta seems like a pretty good value. Just using it as a basic commuting car but do go out to the mountains.

Can't go wrong with one of the Golfs or the Jetta. I've had each and the 1.8T is a great engine, only way you can go wrong with a VW right now is get a 2.0 non turbo Jetta

I've done the same with my 2014 Impreza hatchback. A blowup twin air mattress fits just perfect. I also cut out some window coverings for privacy, added air deflectors so I can put the windows down for ventilation and have a bug screen with magnets to keep the mosquitoes from getting in. My point in doing it is so that I can sleep at photo locations so I can be there for sunrise. Sadly I've only had the chance to sleep in it once so far but it was great!

Bug screen is a good idea!

I had to makeshift a solution, and stuck with it a few time later. Clipped a few of those Off! belt clips to the window and rolled it down

Slept in my Impreza once. Windows up made it stuffy, but bugs would come in with the windows down. Saw a bunch of these in Australia, and they seem like an awesome idea:

Those are awesome!

I would have never even thought to look for something like that. What an odd thing to make!

Isn't that just a peasant blocker, or do you roll the windows down with it?
