Rusty Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So I have decided to give up my mini cooper for something 5 door, as now Nero is getting bigger whenever we go away anywhere there is not enough space in the boot for all our stuff ( he lays on the back seat) So I would like to know what you drive, or any suggestions really. I'm used to smallish cars, so I don't really wanna go for an estate or anything too long..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Haha love the truck, can't see me ever being able to park it though! I'm thinking about a Nissan qashqai, but I like the look of that much more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about a Nissan qashqai, but I like the look of that much more! Had a look at one of these but the slope on the back end restricts the high of the inside to much for the dogs to stand up in a bit much for me great car though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Certainly not small, but you'd get used to it ....... Highly recommend, and get the titanium x if ya can get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley&chad Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have a dodge, avenger.. but they have a "hatchback" dodge that's pretty similar. it's called a caliber. nice cars and I don't think they're crazy expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markulous Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 My progression: Mini Cooper S - 0 dogs Golf GTi - 2 dogs Golf GTDi - 3 dogs RAV4 - 4 dogs except with the foster, 5 dogs - and the boot's not big enough (I'm very happy to squash them in as if there's an 'incident' they'll be much safer with no flying around). So little 'un goes seatbelted on the back seat RAV's great as we can get anywhere, have a good roof to chuck crates on and a towbar for the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I didn't want anything to big Aa I was used to small sports cars but I have two huskies so not practical so I opted for sporty and still the make I love but enough room for my doggies I for a Honda civic 5 door the newer shape models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Nice selection, think il just have to get used to something bigger, especially if we do decide on another pup in the future. I shall let you all know when I finally decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uradi sve sama Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 GO with Nissan qashqai. Won't regret it. Although with two kids aboard, Thule was a necessity so back could be Max'es. Siberian Husky male, 9 mths old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia Doyle Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Would thé dogs be going in thé boot or thé back? I could go up to my friends tomorrow and take photos of it from all angles, give me an exuse to go and see baby lucy Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow63 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 We love our Ford Escape, but that was when we only had the two dogs. Now that we have a baby in there too it is a little squished! We definitely can't go camping like we are used to so we have been looking into bigger vehicles as well. We are looking at the Nissan Pathfinder or Honda Pilot. Anyone have an opinion on these two vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uradi sve sama Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Dunc, qashqai goes without any trouble with two kids and two huskies. No doubt there is more than enough space. If you need measures or something just ask. Like i Said. You won't regret buying qashqai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Aren't there two types of qaushqai? The regular five seater and the bigger seven seater one (thinks it's called the qaushqai +2 ). Would imagine the seven seater hatchback dimensions would be bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uradi sve sama Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Like I wrote earlier -Qashqai. And no, Emma, I would not imagine that, since the overall dimensions of the car stay the same. But I will not go into that since different markets have different models of the same car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the mo I'm quite happy with him on the back seat, so I'm not realy fussed either way,as long as we have space left for belongings on holidays! The dodge looks lovely, I don't know if we get them here? Maybe a little out of price range for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
