So I'm thinking about replacing my wife's car, and we're wanting something fuel efficient; at least more so than our current 1999 Ford Explorer... but I've got to fit a 4x12 cab in it.

Here's the question: If you can fit a 4x12 cabinet in your car, what make/model of car do you drive?

A friend of mine can squeeze his into his Nissan Altima... any others?

Thanks!

It's a bit of a tight squeeze over the handlebars of my pushbike. That's why I got a PPC112.

Speaking of sporty, our minivans have gotten about 20 to 25 mph on the highway and about 18 in town with much more room on the inside than an Explorer.

Otherwise, a station wagon should be able hold 4 by 12.

All the gear fits neatly into my Jag. Middle-aged rock'n'roll.

I havent tried yet ( car is only 2 weeks old ) but it certainly looks like our new VW Jetta TDI will take my 4x12 and head... and it does 1100km on a 50L tank of diesel
