SAAB 900 Series 3-door hatchback is perfect! I'm on my third one and love it as a bike transport.
30 mpg on freeway at 72 mph
I drive a lot on bad mountain roads, dirt, mud, snow, and have never been stuck and hardly ever need chains
Lift rear hatch - opening allows vertical access to over 1/2 the cargo area
Fold the backseat down
Put mat down
Put fully assembled bike in back - lay on its side
Put cargo mat/blanket over bike
Put another fully assembled bike in back - lay on its side
Put cargo mat/blanket over bike
Remove front wheel from 3rd bike
Put 3rd bike and wheel on top of cargo mat
Put cargo mat/blanket over 3rd bike
Drive away
Only drawback is that only two people fit in car with rear seat down
Bikes are not readily visible unless you walk up to SAAB and look inside
