I do most of my trips by bicycle obviously, but for anything requires hauling lots of shit or people I own like a 30 year old station wagon. It seems to be on its way out so I looked for a newer one and they either all suck or seem so clapped out I might aswell try to keep this baby going. Is that really the only options? Like I look at reasonably priced SUV and sure it seats five but the amount of cargo space available I might aswell buy 2 compacts and rip the seats out of one or whatever.

Also bonus questions what the fuck, does nobody use their cars for anything but personal transport and maybe some groceries anymore?

What kind of hauling we talking about. Best normal vehicle I've used for carrying stuff was a tiny truck. Not those huge ones that 99% of their owners have no need for. The little ones like an Isuzu. Next best is a proper van like the commercial white ones. Actually pretty great for hauling bikes and having a little bed for car camping bike adventures but terrible gas mileage. Next best is probably a minivan, the kind where you can take out the back seats. That leaves tons of room and can still seat at least 4 while hauling.
