I used to have a Holden Commodore wagon that would fit my big 10' board in nicely with all the seats folded down, but silly me I sold it when I stopped surfing for a while.
Now I am working next to the coast and leaving my board on my sedans' roof racks throughout the day while I wait for the after-work surf is just not an option (secure parking, but I don't like melted wax 
).
Are there any other cars like the Commodore wagon that are 10' longboard friendly? I don't think an Excel or Mazda wagon would be long enough.
If you want cheap and cheerful but new'ish with air con / power steer and mod con's in your car look at a Hyundai i30 s/wagon.
I had one for a while while my X-Trail was having some issues and it fit a 10'6 Munoz in through the back to the passenger parcel shelf no worries which the X-Trail does not.
You can pick them up for great prices, very good on fuel, comfy to drive and 2 boards inside easy.http://cars.mitula.com.au/cars/i30-wagon
Subaru Forrester fits a 9'6, fairly easy. But 10'0 wouldn't fit. Haven't tried... But 9'8 or 9'9 or 9'10 would be the absolute the limit. 9'6 is easy. It might fit 10'0... but you would be stuffing around with laying the passenger seat flat... and it would be a horrible squeeze... Probably smash the tail and/or nose!!
SupAnimals, what are you doing here!?

HG Holden Stato Wagon - best old girl I ever had -161 ran on the sniff of an oily rag , 3 on the tree ..... beeeeewdy newk 
Ah I wish I had the patience for an old wagon... I used to have an EJ with an old Grey Motor... but I can't take care of them anymore and I do a lot of highway driving now. If I was going to get another oldie, it would be a Valiant Safari.
I just put down a deposit on a ford mondeo wagon. Good size, excellent milage (1100km from a tank allegedly). Will post a test report in a few weeks time.
My Volkswagen Transporter fits a 10 footer. It's also a camper, complete with a fridge and a 3/4 bed that folds up to a seat.
It's also for sale with good rego, tyres and a pop top roof.

I dont understand why we dont have a newer version of the mitsubishi L300 wagon.
We get the Delicas but curved roof, full of carpet etc not surf mobile friendly as old box shape.
You can get an imported all wheel drive toyota hiace but wished they came in 4wd version as they are perfect. Fits a decent quiver in including long boards and still room for family.
Got to be able to lock up extra boards so when you are hunting surf you have all conditions covered.
BP for someone with so little posts you are one fast learner or you have a second user login,keep up the fine work
Its ok I wont tell Laurie like another did.
Keep up the good work whoever you are.

Or it was a brilliant decoy post!
Once I read this I became an instant fan I am glad he is finally in the Greenroom. I hope he starts sharing some stories soon.......
About Me: In 1973 my parents named me Brad.
In hindsight it was not a good option as our family name is Pitt.
Life as Brad Pitt can be very frustrating at times but has its advantages. I mean what girl doesn't want to sleep with Brad Pitt.
I just love the ocean.
BP is convincing but I just don't trust you QLDers.
Yes Ted he must have some stories.
^^^^
yeah well hmmmm are Jennifer Anniston's you know what's real or ..... is Angel as smokingly searingly hot in the you know what ..... hmmmmmm how do we ask him nicely
Well... In the end I got a 2006 Commodore Wagon. I know I know it's a pretty heavy drinker, but I got it for a good price, and it's a car I know will go the distance.
