Default Ute, Wagon, Sedan or what??

G'day all, I need a little bit of help in deciding on my new 2nd hand car, I'm are tossing up between a Ute, Wagon, Sedan or what??.
Little bit of history to give you and idea of what i do.

I'm a hunter, I like to go 4WDing (have dedicated 4wd for that), go bike riding (motorbike and pushy), I go camping, fishing, and on long trips away.

so what do you think?? any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated

Cheers Booka

Yeah I'd go for the ute. 4-wheel drive would be handy.

Definitley the ute, I have a mate that goes camping and fishing and he has an XR6 Ute, he had a tent set up in the tray so he could just fold out the tent and he would be able to sleep in the tray, was a good setup.
Should be able to carry your bikes in one aswell.

Get a panel van. I picked up the below XH van this morning for $3800 on road drive away with 12 months rego. I spend a lot of time fishing/camping/cruising so its the perfect car for me. Kind of like a mobile bedroom. Good for crashing out after a big night at the pub too!
