Can I recommend the Toyota IQ for carrying golf equipment?

You have had some recent letters re suitable cars for carrying golf equipment. My wife has a Toyota IQ and one of the conditions before purchase was that the car would have to accommodate a golf bag across the car without taking any clubs out. With the rear seat backrests folded down it will fit two golf bags and two electric trolleys with the wheels removed and with the ample front leg room two small day bags will fit behind the front seats. The IQ is a 'big' little car and is only 5cm narrower inside the front doors than my last car, a Saab 9-3 estate.

The golf bag carrying capability of the IQ is extraordinary. I'd never have thought of that.
