I have moved from Surrey (the patio of England) to rural Wiltshire and find that my beloved Honda Jazz can't cope with the rough tracks. So will trade it in for a Honda HR-V or CR-V. I already have a Volvo V70 so don't really need another large vehicle like the CR-V; the HR-V would be a better sized replacement for the Jazz. BUT .... the Jazz will take 2 mountain bikes upright inside (front wheels removed); but the HR-V has a much smaller cargo space than the Jazz and may not take mountain bikes inside. The largest bike is 19" and needs about 61 inches length and about 32 inches high.

But these bikes don't look real to me. They appear to have small rear wheels and short front forks. What do you think?
The bikes are real but the wheels are 20". Note the piece of tubing behind the seattube to move the derailleur in the appropriate position for the much lower position of the wheelaxle

Definitely not standard format bikes. You also have to wonder how the front seats are adjusted. I guess you'll just have to lug a muddy bike down to the showroom and toss one in and see!

Take your bike to the car dealer and try it - I did that when I was looking for a new car, the salesmen looked at me a bit strangely, but they all let me do it. I guess if it will get them a sale...
I choose the Honda Jazz as its probably the best small car for fitting bikes inside.

Looks to me like they have 650c wheels. Real? Yes, most likely not just Photoshopped in. But will your bike fit? Take the bike with you and look at the car.
I can get mine in the car that way in my Subaru Forester, but I do have to take the saddle/seatpost out. It does give an option if the weather is bad or you have a long way to drive, but I prefer to put the bike on top of the car.
