New car for SWMBO

[Asterix]

Will 2 of these...

...fit in the boot of one of these...

...without dropping the rear seats.

I suspect not, but would be pleasantly surprised to hear otherwise. Am looking to lease a car that attracts cheap premiums (lease, tax, insurance, etc...), but is still stylish* and competent.

Was thinking a BMW118d, but the 2 lab issue may scupper that. If not a BMW118d, what other stylish* and competent suggestions have you.

*Yes, I realise that's highly subjective

You will have 2 uncomfortable labs      I had a 3 series estate and they aren't that big for an estate, the 1's are even smaller    

Stylish and cheap premimums and yet big enough for 2 brown labs

New VX Insignia Estate

New Honda Accord Estate

Volvo Estate

Toyota Avensis Estate

New Merc Estate

Audi A4 or A6 Estate (Avant- S Line)

Somehow I think stylish may be the compromise     for big enough and practical

But the dog in the picky only looks to be about 3 inches tall x 6 inch long , shirley should fit in the glove box

Seat Exeo ST (old model A4 in drag)

Just got SWMBO a Hyundai i30 estate premium. Loads of extras inc iphone / ipod connector. Cheap to run and not bad looking for a small estate.

We went for it as we have two huge Huskies to cram in the boot, and they fit with space to move

We have 2 golden retrievers & I had a massive, quick, new Vectra - ideal dog/kid transport.

However, I sold it and went back to a '98 P1 Volvo V70 XC with 190+ bhp, so I had a large wad of cash to put towards aquiring my Westy - dirt cheap to buy, reliable and reasonable running costs. Not much of a pose factor but unbeatable for lugging dogs/kids about (in my opinion anyway!).

Cheers,

Matt

Audi sportback would get my vote but Seat Leon will prob be cheaper

Not enough room in the back of a Leon for 2 labs

Claire has a 123d and you would not fit one lab in comfort

Maybe Golf or A3?

I've a 123d, goes like the clappers. Labs would be sick and never get in it ever again.......works on many passengers as well
