Default Do I or don't i???

Hiya all!!
I'm contemplating buying an Impreza WRX estate version....but have been to look at a couple and i'm a tad worried about the boot space, it's not as big as i thought it would be....am i safely gonna fit the (big) labrador in the boot??

I just don't know whether to get one or not. I love the power and definately the looks, but i also need space????

Any help gratefully rec'd

Thanks

I modified a dog cage to go in the back of my Blobeye wagon & our two Border collies had plenty of room. Enough to swap sides on long journies to get a different view out the window.

I've got 2 big black labs with a subaru dog guard in my wagon - they love it. It's a bug '52. Boot liner too, so they can be filthy and no worries.

I've got a bugeye wrx wagon (only had it a couple of weeks) and let my greyhound in the back last week. He's quite snug but can turn around in the back.

It's good from a safety point of view because he can't climb over the back seats. With the back seats down, he'd have way to much room.

It's also got just enough height so that he can stand upright in the back. Maybe compare the standing height of your dog against the boot height or take your dog with you for a test drive

I remember seeing an R34 Skyline GTR pull up and a st.bernard jump out of the passenger seat - fantastic.

What about a Forrester?

They may not look the same but the performance won't be too much different

We fit the mother of all grayhounds in the back of our hawkeye no problems. She even has room for a bed, bowl and some toys.
