Need for speed ....no more , help with dog car

[Tlav123]

Looking for some ideas as what to get for the dog mobile as we are soon to be getting a labroodle (standard size so quite tall)

Currently knocking about in a little fiesta ST mk7.5 , and im sure she would fit , I worry about how comfortable she might be , she will be coming to work with me during the week which is a 40 mile round journey round trip ,

The idea is to get rid of the ST and have about 11k to play with , and is a Skoda fabia estate car all the car I will ever need ??

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated !

Just flicking through some of the replies ,

With the dog in the boot 90% of the time , I'm not really interested in speed (I know, I'm sorry) , I'm more inclined towards the comfort of the dog ,

The civic tourer looks like a good option ! Good mpg , boot is huge , fabia estate in Monte Carlo spec has a sun roof which I'm sure would be nice for her

I know this is a bit personal, so don't feel like you have to answer on here, but is the dog a test run baby?

If so, consider the next size up, e class / superb etc.

Our labrador can fit lengthways in half the boot width, meaning we have half the boot sectioned off for buggy etc. Happily the years of buggies are coming to an end for me, so I'll soon be downsizing to something of a similar size to the golf/civic.

Just something to consider.

I'm sure my partner would like it to be a test baby run ....

But I will bear that in mind !
