Nice car you can fit dogs in the back of?
Discussion
I have had my Passat R36 for years, mainly because it ticks so many boxes in terms of a car I can get the whole family in, including 2 dogs.
However, I feel ready in life for a GT car. However my biggest issue is I need one that I can still put the dogs in the back of. I am not so fussed about 4 seats though.
I had my heart set on a V8 Vantage, but I have seen some amusing threads on here about things people can fit in the back of one. But these threads also commented that there is not a huge amount of room specifically for dogs, due to the angle of the glass. We have a beagle and a small dog. So neither are huge dogs.
I realise I could get another Estate like the R36, obviously some of the RS Audis are very nice, but it feels much like a straight swap rather than something to really get excited about.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Budget is around £40k

I recently got this for my daily. Ticks all the boxes you want a great drive, quick enough, mega stereo, GT ride to the Alps in the winter, sky glass roof / wingback seats / and of course that 4.2 N/A (gorgeous) engine.

It's a lovely car, but I was trying to avoid another car similar to my R36 Estate. Rocky the boxer is a very happy lad!

Before I decided on the R36, I also looked at the RS4 and my only deciding factor really was I figured a big ass n/a engine would have less problems. Which I still think was a sensible decision.
