Hello all

I could do with some advise please and or suggestions.  I am going to change my car in the coming month and would like to know anyone's opinion's experiences with the following cars:-
Nissan Almera Tino  Smallish MPV
Skoda Fabia Estate
Chrysler PT Voyager  another smallish MPV
Mitsubishi Space Star
Vauxhall Meriva
Or anything in that sort of size bracket must be no bigger than a Vw Golf ,  I would prefer something you can get 1 or 2 German Shepherds in.
Thanks in advance
Jane

Jane,

I bought a Zafira about 18 months ago and I am still 100% pleased with it. I bought a 2.0 Diesel , I get 50 miles to the gallon. I can get 4- 6 westies with their boxes in it iand a labrador. I have put 40,000 on it in 18 months and it has been superb really far better that I thought it would be. The interior has stood up well etc etc.  

I have just got a ford focus estate. The boot is huge!!!!!!
And the dog guard from Halfords actually works in it!!!!!!!!!!(first outing with the dogs today!!!!!!!)
I like it.

My neighbour has a space star and the boot is very very small.  I have far more space in my estate (Seat Cordoba).

Personally I would go for an estate car every time if it is a boot you are looking for.

Just bought a new Citroen Berlingo Forte. It's a small MPV and takes three large Belgians and all their showing stuff with no problems. Also because of it's square shape I was able to buy two large crates 'off the peg' to fit it out with at a fraction of the price it would have cost to get them made to measure

I've got the peugeot sw and wouldn't change it! had it a year now and it does around 68average to the gallon,diesel 1.4.Hubby is set to test drive the new slightly larger version after 17th Sept. he is so impressed with mine.
Lots of boot room and it's great as the rear door lifts totally or you can just open the glass window for quick access.
We bought one because we also have a Rover estate which has been great and runs on a peugeot diesel engine ;) that has done over 100,000 miles to date,no major problems either.
