I'm an avid outdoorsman and I have no problem with cargo capacity in my Nissan Micra. It can fit up to 5 people with some space for cargo still in the back. It can also fit loads of fishing and canoeing/kayaking gearing with the boats strapped up top. My hitch lets me easily bring my bike anywhere. In the winter it fits a 6 foot sled full of ice fishing gear including a 3 man pop up tent and everything needed to spend multiple nights on the ice. The majority of my cargo fits inside the car where it can stay dry, and secure from wind, rain and theft unlike the back of a pick up truck. Aside from already assembled furniture, there isnt much my car can't haul. I live somewhere with harsh winters and back country logging roads and the micra handles both just fine despite being FWD.
