About the Intermediate
People arrive at this group when the Compact's boot turns out to be the thing that does not work. Two to three pieces of luggage rather than one to two, and almost no change in how the car behaves in a passing place, which is why a week away tends to land here and a long weekend does not. Five seats, five doors, manual. Everything above this in the Cars list trades a little more road presence for a little more room, so stop at whichever point your bags stop being a problem.
Is this the right group for your trip?
- Best suited to
- A step up in space without a step up in road presence, which is the trade-off that matters here. Suits two to four people staying a week rather than a long weekend.
- Luggage and load
- Noticeably more boot than the compact, which is usually the reason people move up to it.
- Probably not for
- Drivers who would rather not change gear on single-track hills. The automatic groups exist for that.
“Or similar” means you are booking the group, not the car. The Intermediate group is shown as Volkswagen Golf or similar, and your vehicle will be that model or a comparable one from the same group. Not every group is available at every location on every date. The booking search confirms which.
