new car needed - which is dog friendly?

hi,

may have posted this in the wrong place - sorry!

i currently own a ford fiesta, 2 children, 2 irish setters and 3 cats.

PROBLEM - need a bigger car!!!!

going to look at a nissan x trail tomorrow, does anyone know what they're like - are they dog friendly.

i just so need a car with a bigger boot, i can't get both dogs in the boot of a fiesta and you should see it when its fully loaded with 2 dogs , 2 kids and me driving it - no joke i can assure you!

we are in the middle of deciding between misubishi L200 (new mod) and the CRV. But more than likley going to get the l200. As we can get an AUT DSL!

I had to buy a van!!!!!!!!!! I am now white van woman!!!..

Can't fit 2 Mals and a Large Samoyed into the boot of a frontera unfortunately

oh my god, now i'm worried - those cars have massive boots!!

My o/h has a Vauxall Zafira - that's pretty roomy

I'm the same now. Just got a white van too, can't fit 3 mals in an Espace anymore

The Espace was pretty good though, you can remove the extra 2 seats from the far rear for loads of room, happily housed 3 kids and 2 Mals

well i do like the whole 7 seater thing purely cos of the kids and would always have extra room if needed to get more kids in the car - but then can take extra seats out if you need the boot space, maybe thats a better option then - that way you get the best of both i guess!

That's why I liked it, but then I prefered the thought of more dogs rather than more kids .......lol

lol - hell yes!

no more kids!!!

I have a Toyota Hilux Surf - sits my lot (7 dogs and three teenagers) easily and comfortably - with room for more if necessary....dogs not teenagers I hasten to add!
I have a tailgate guard which allows me to have the rear window (screen) down for extra air circulation - and the drop down tailgate makes a fab place to eat lunch change wellies when out working!
