At the moment I've got an mx5 but two whippets means I could do with something with those pretend seats in the back that aren't any good for humans but would hold a couple of small curled up dogs. I'm looking for something like an mx5 but with that extra bit of space and still a nice fun drive. It seems that it used to be a fashionable niche but not anymore
my favourite is the 944 but might be ruiness

an old mgbgt

or the mx3 (not much fun)


Is this design called "fastback" or something ? Is there a good version of it that Im looking for? Surely I can't be the only one who likes 2+ nearly two seats? What should I be looking at? BTW the 944 is just the ticket, I wonder why they stopped making it and why theres not bunches of jap copies of it?

Celica GT?

Cost peanuts and it'll last forever. Fun enough when you want it to be too.This shape:

Be flogging my Megane Coupe shortly, that's got rear seats that could suit the sprogs. . .MGBGT headroom will be an issue eventually, trust me my dad had one ! your other choices look a better bet

Corrado VR6, very practical, hatchback Coupe style would work well, individual seats in rear for both dogs! Glorious 6 cylinder noise

I suppose rwd is too much to expect even though it's best for sporty? (ducks)
