Into air cooled volkswagens in a reasonable way. (1959 Karmann Ghia, 1962 splitscreen kombi single cab, 1963 splitscreen deluxe microbus, 1967 splitscreen microbus Canterbury Pitt camper)
However as daily drivers we have had a really good run with Mazdas for probably 20 years (323, 626 and currently a Mazda 6) and was looking to upgrade to a new Mazda 6 luxury sports hatch and was ready to do a deal but not willing to wait at least 3 months for delivery!
So, went and drove a GTi 6 speed golf and was super impressed. I reckon the build quality is slightly better than the Mazda and I was staggered at the amount of room inside including head room and boot area as well. The family 2 + 2 fitted well and I think would be quite comfortable for even extended trips without too much 'stuff' (our other car is a Chrysler Voyager so we don't need anything too big as a second car.)
I realise there would be a wait for a new Golf (depending on spec) but may also look at recent second hand too.
Driving the car really bought a smile to my face, so hope to be in one in the near future....
Great forum btw and packed with great info.
Cheers, Morts
