Best type of vehicle for a system?

[HoovaDeuce 82]

What type of vehicle is best for a good high powered system? Cars with trunks **** cause no matter what you do it's going to rattle plus you lose alot of the sound. Suv's, hatchbacks and trucks seem to be the best. I was listening to my buddy's system today in a ext cab Silverado. He had the back seats out with 2 12" kicker comp vr's ported. The subs were facing up the port forward and it sounded really nice. Outside the truck you don't hear much rattle either. I am thinking about buying a new vehicle pretty soon. I have a 08 camry now but I'm thinking about getting either a ext cab truck or hatchback like a Golf GTI. I'm not gonna buy a car solely based on if it's good for a system but it is a perk. Suv's seem to do well too but the gas mileage is a killer...

I'd do a small hatch,don't have to have a million Watts to get loud...

Ext cab trucks are quite easy to get loud to the ear. Subs forward port up is mo betta though.

Yeah, I really like the VW Golf GTI'S. I found some really good deals on some used ones with less than 50k miles. They range form 07-10. I bet I could get that car loud easy. Especially if I have my 2 12" DC lvl 2's with an aq 1200.1 by the time I get it!

Only ext cab s10. I am a big guy 6ft 5 so I need lots of leg room. Typically I put my seat as far back as it goes.

Eh I think I'm gonna get a VW Gti. There sweet and pretty fast. Gonna get the manual 2 door. It's a hatch so 2 12's with 1200 watts should bang like crazy. Plus I'll deaden the crap out the hatch and the whole car really.

Minivans and Suburbans are very nice for cabin gain on the lows. But I realize you might lose some street cred rolling in a soccer mom ride.

Any vehicle once you put some time into it.
