I usually use fairly little of my car's load capacity.
That's why I went for a car the size, weight and fuel consumption of a (small) sedan, but with the added versatility of a break/station wagon.

With the rear seats folded down, it carries a fair amount of stuff whenever the need arises.

Would it make sense to join a co-op, or just rent something for big loads?
Though voluminous MPVs are gaining popularity, few people in Europe own light trucks (US style).
So when we need some serious hauling capacity, we tend to rent a trailer, a truck - or hire a housemoving company.
