Hey guys, among the cars that are best to insert bicycle or long items (can fold seat at the back with enough space), what are the cars that can do it?

Is Ativa (A - Segment ) big enough for it? Or need to go X50 / HRV?

what are sub 100k cars (include 2nd hand) that can do the task ?

Toyota Sienta... but only used can get. It's good because the floor (load height) is low.

Last time I tried putting my bicycle with 26" wheels into a 2nd generation Toyota Innova, had to tilt it sideways to enter.

If you have folding bicycle, sedan also can but struggle a bit.

Long? Recently transported a 2m long x 0.5m wide x 1.5inch thick solid wood back via Subaru Forester. Fold down the front passenger seat as well, with perhaps 1 feet to spare witout passing the glove box.

Bike? I assume either mini bike or bicycle. Honda Freed is under-rated. Under RM35k, you can get a good condition unit. It's has floor to headroom volume if you need to shove in a bike. Remove the 3rd row seat and you will have an even wider space for 2 bikes even. Honda Japan recently launched the 3rd gen Freed. Too bad it isn't popular here. It even comes with an AWD model. Would love to get one of those for my light off road camping excursions.

I used my 1st gen avanza to carry MTB or roadbike all the time.
No need to even take off front rim. just slot right in.
fold last 2 row of seat. and i put a big cardboard over it and dump my bicycle on top.

also a single sided 9 step ladder with fold last 2 row, plus fold down passenger seat. long enough for you?
