About four years ago, I picked up a 1993 Pontiac TransSport van. Fuel injected six cylinder. Decent mileage and driveability over long trips. Easily accomodate vertical action in a cradle or grand action along with plenty of tool boxes. Mine now has about 200,000 miles on its and is doing pretty well. Works for me.

Subject: The Quest for the Ideal Piano Technician Automobile
My beloved VW hatchback (with back seat removed for bountiful action cradle space)
is starting to feel its age and 188,000 miles and I am pondering what I will do when it
finally goes to the great big salvage yard in the sky...
In your opinions, what is the all time best suited car for piano work?
Including, most vitally:
---Easy transport of grand and upright actions
---Room for needed tools
---Decent gas mileage
(Also, I was eying a Honda Insight the other day, and was wondering if
any ambitious tech out there has tried to fit an action in one of those
gasoline sippers... Maybe in the back hatch with the passenger seat
all the way forward? Am I totally deluding myself?)
Highly subjective opinions welcome.
