Is it possible to get a small hatch to fit bikes in for under €10,000?

If you had up to €10k to spend on a hatchback with low running costs (small diesel ideally) with enough room for a couple of bikes in the back, what would you spend your money on?

Hi Rob,

Hmmm. The bikes bit makes this awkward - assuming you mean adult bikes, not kids'. You could try a Skoda Fabia Combi, but to be honest, I'm not sure that two bikes would fit easily in the back, even with the seats folded. Your best bet could be a decent diesel hatchback and a really good bike rack for the boot.
