<p>I can’t second the recommendation for a hatchback enough. I’ve moved cross-country three times in my little '03 Focus hatchback, and it’s never ceased to amaze me how much stuff I can manage to jam in there. It’s also been really handy for my frequent apartment moves over summer break and during grad school. The hatchback is great since you can get a small car, but still fit a lot of those larger, weird-shaped things into it.</p>
<p>How many sedans out there could you drop by a random yard sale and walk away with a really comfortable rocking chair without worrying about how it would fit into the car?</p>
