I've got one, but haven't got a dog guard yet :( A bit remiss of me, but can't decide whether to get a crate or not :( Tara is an angel and doesn't jump over the back - fortunately, we usually use OH's car which has a gate when we take both dogs out. Must get it sorted soon tho' or just not use my car for the dogs

yeah we will probably get a crate at some point but wanted a guard to keep us going! unfortunately our little madam isnt such an angel in the car!!! although since we have moved house she hardly goes in it!! she is used to a renault clio tho, so a scenic boot should be like luxury to her!!! do u find the car ok? we couldnt decide on which car to go for, but being 6 months pregnant and having a large dog we really needed a step up from a clio!!!

I love my Scenic - it's my second :) This one is an automatic - I've driven autos before, but this is my first :) Recently had parking sensors fitted as I always leave a huge space behind (I did the same with my other Scenic) :D :D I just love the digital display on the dashboard - there is no excuse for speeding as the display is so huge :D :D I'm sure you'll love yours :)

Decided that now I'm the wrong side of 50, I would go for the auto :D :D Actually, the car was such a bargain (it was only 5 months old and a very good price) that being an auto didn't matter, particularly as I don't do a high mileage :)
Have fun :)

We had an old style Senic and the boot was so low with the headrests raised on the back seats we found we didn't need a dog guard. Don't know if the new syle is the same.

We've got the new scenic and have bought a hamster basket car cage for the back. Very good price and nicely made.

The seats are very high - Tara's head is barely visible over the top :)

yeah the headrests are high but we have a houdini for a dog!! will look at the places suggested! think we will end up with a crate, but dont want to take up all the boot space as need to fit a pushchair in too!!
