fun car which can be used for mountain biking?
Discussion
Choose a car that appeals to you, then figure a way of transporting the bike using it.
You could anything from a Catherham 7 to a 911, with hot hatches and sporting saloons thrown into the mix too.
What other factors are a consideration in your choice? - ie number of seats, hard top, soft top, every day practicality etc.

so can any sports cars have a tow bar fitted? mx5 boxster etc
I suspect any car can have a tow bar fitted if you're willing to pay for custom fabrication. Many aren't type approved for towing but that needn't stop you from fitting a tow bar to carry a bike rack. Alternatively, many more specialist cars have custom bike racks available for them.

As a cyclist and sports car owner - anything.
Really, just about anything will work.
I've had bikes on, and n (yes, IN), my MX5-s and MR2.
If you want a hatchback, fine, but from experience, don't compromise your choice of car for the times you want to hang a bike off it.
Heading into trailhead car park with roof down and bike in passenger seat is great fun too.

Octavia vRS estate.
That's what I'm leasing (a mk3 version) and will collect it tomorrow
There are loads of mk2's available for good money now. Not as fun as an MX-5 but cheap to run and huge inside. I'm hoping the road bike will go in mine with all the wheels on and the seats lowered. at the worst, just the front wheel off.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve. However i would prefer a hatchback over an estate as i don't need that much space.That's what I'm leasing (a mk3 version) and will collect it tomorrow
