Z3 Breadvan? Not sure it's big enough for a Lab, but it's fun to drive and quick!

Just got an X-Type estate (2.0D frown) and the dog has plenty of space. He did fit in the back of the Leon but it was a bit tight, and you therefore lose all use of the boot.

I'm liking the look of those boot protectors. Though perhaps not the bright pink one on the X-Type page.

i thought the 2.2 was the way to go?
Not a lot in it. Same basic motor, 2.2 slightly more power and I think slightly higher state of tune (bhp/litre wise) in stock trim. But slightly worse on fuel. Think it was introduced to meet newer emissions requirements more than anything.

Pre 2003 3.0 V6 AWD is the way to go though! biggrin
Budget was quite tight. I would have liked a 2.2D in SE or Sport Premium spec but there aren't many around for £7K. Ended up with a 2.0D SE.
3.0 would have been great, but I need to cut down my fuel costs.
yes i love the 3.0 v6 great engine but i too cant justify the fuel cost of what would be a daily driver.

Fairly certain that dogs aren't allowed to drive.

Yeah but why stop them if they're good at it?

I imagine it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility to find a dog that's a more competent driver than some of the c***s out there

Take the dog to a car park and let him choose which model he likes.

He will wander round 'til he finds one then mark it for you.

My male black Lab was fine in the boot of my old Focus, just lied down...

Saying that i've an ST220 now so he has more room, that wasn't the reason to buy though.

Regarding that BMW ad., centripetal acceleration would have pressed the dog against the door, not the seat.

Back on topic, my suggestion would be a Beagle E Type wink

Nice line up! Some good looking labradors there..... I hope our boy (Senna...) ends up something like that.
Don`t know what your feeding your labs but one of them has had a furry brown dump!
