A SEAT Leon, one of the faster ones.

Bikes go on the roof. Its a decent car, faster than a Golf GTI for less money (with a slightly shit interior and lower resale value as the payoff) and no one expects a SEAT to be that fast.

Fiat Doblo mk2 MPV, two bikes fully built go in upright, does 45-50mpg on a run, and drives well for what it is. Only issue is that the sump sits pretty low, so susceptible to grounding out on forest tracks.
A Toyota Previa taxi I caught the other night felt like a tin can with endemic body roll in comparison.

I used to own a Lancia Beta coupe, getting a bike in the back seats was a bit of a challenge but managed it just.

Same here Trekster! 96 Polo just gone the scrappy, great for just chucking a dirty bike in the back although small. Good wee car but now replaced with... Skoda Octvia estate (series 1). Not huge but just needs front wheel and seat post off. Ill get roof bars when funds allow. Comfy and tdi makes it quick and cheap. Was a bargain to buy too.

ISUZU D-Max, Hi-Lander.

A massive 4 door pick up with a full canopy. Bikes slide in the back. I slide in the front and grin like a loon every time I put my foot down (3.0Tdi with a modified turbo).

I can't think of a better mtb'ers 'car'. I can literally hose the mud out of the boot, sit on the tail gate to change, spanner, rest. Never worried about getting stuck in muddy car parks and mpg doesn't change if I've got a truck full of men and bikes or if it's a single driver.
