    I am looking for a car to sleep in at night when camping . Need a flat base when seats are down and some head space to sit up.

    My budget is 20K and I dont want a van or a very large car . Maybe an estate with headspace ?

    Any suggestions ?

    Hyundai i40 estate. Skoda superb estate. There are a few options. Id swear by the i40 in terms of value for money.

    What height are you? I'm 6 ft and fit in my the back of a 5 series estate.

    Things to watch out for are the catches on the side for the seats (very painful if you back into them) and any kind of tie down points that are not recessed and under a flap (they'll damage your inflatable sleeping mat). I've bitter experience of both :(

    I like an estate with no lip at the back...gives you an extra couple of inches if you leave the boot open and make a shelter under it.
