Estate or hatch

[macp]

Just interested what others have done to resolve a similar issue I have now.We enjoy family holidays in and around the uk and now have two small dogs.There are three of us in the family so plus the dogs we are going to need some space.I would rather avoid an estate and 2-3k will not buy me anything particularly interesing anyway but would a large hatch with perhaps a roofbox suit ?

What do you people do ?

So remember dont put dogs in roofbox, dont put dogs in roofbox

Yes petrol costs are also a kicker.

Because I also need a car for the shortish (8ml) commute to work I have also been considering a snotter and maybe a 3rd car for the family.Thats the problem I need one car to do everything but putting it all in perspective we go on holiday only twice maybe three times per year.

Awesome love it

Seems as if your partner does to.

I have been trying to suggest to swmbo that what we need is one of these which to be fair she likes but is not sexed up about the price.

Was just looking at the 2003 on shape vectra SRi which seem to have a mahoosive boot.Ive driven the 1.8 which I thought was quite nice but needed more grunt and would then be much nicer.The question is should one touch one with a bargepole?

Alternatively there are the offerings from Ford in the shape of the mondeo or Mazda 6 both of which also seem to be well endowed in the boot dept.
