Looking for a new car and wondered if my small but stocky bulldog would fit in the hatch area (with the parcel shelf out!) ?

Anyone?

Yep, had this issue myself being the human for the good old British Bulldog........

You will find short journeys ok but I ruled out longer trips as the rear well doesn't really accommodate the non articulation of the breed,we also found
the rake of the rear hatch window didn't allow much head room and would be invariably covered in slobber.......

The rear glass angle also magnified the sunshine which did cause considerable concern so we gave up on bright days and left the beast at home.

In a nut shell the Bully will be ok for short trips,no more, although he will like it and draw attention to himself deflecting from your P and J.

You would be well advised as well to consider whether one Bully in the household is enough cus if like us you get another its a big no no in the Aston,trust me
I tried........

By the way the V8 boot works best as the V12 variants hump looses even more vital Bully space......happy days!.
I knew I just had to wait a short while and a great answer would come along! Our boy does suffer in the sun so it does sound like a no. Oh well just love that car and cant really have 2 cars. The better option is still looking like a panamera turbo. Shame it's no supermodel like the aston!

think my thread got jacked! Anyhow, I looked at the Rapide boot online but it looks super shallow. Any Rapide owners here?
