Default MTB back seat transporting?

Anyone carry their bike on the back seat of their saloon (not wagon)?

I stick my Basso Road bike on the back seat of my bug saloon (seat covered with sleeping bag) with the wheels in the boot.

Does that help ?

It does help. Yours is a raod bike though, so very little mud to contend with

One of the reasons I keep looking for a (new age) wagon is to be able to fit my bike in the back, but wagon options are limited to WRX's. If I went saloon a world of opportunity would open up

Can't you take the wheels off and zip it into a soft bike bag ?
