Default A question to Blob/hawk wagon owners...

Hi, I need a car big enough to transport my Newfoundland dog in but also put a smile on my face for the other 80% of the time.

Could any owners give me an idea of how big Blob/Hawk wagons are in the back? Are both models identical in terms of space or does a certain model edge it? I am a good 40 miles from the nearest one for sale and don't want a completely wasted journey if it is clearly too small.

I can't seem to judge it from the pics I have found online so any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

A Newfoundland is roughly St Bernard size for comparisons sake.

Cheers.

on my blobeye wagon with the seats up,
floor:- seats to back = 80cm
width between wheel arches= 92cm
width near door=130cm.
height:- floor to roof=74cm
floor to lowest point on sloping back window = height 36cm
measurments at height 36cm are 62cm depth/130cm width.
He might get in, it's wether he can turn around.
With the rear seats pushed down some height would be lost at the front but he would have plenty room but of course it's how to fit the safety mesh.
hope this helps

I got a wagon to get my two staffs in, which it is perfect size for. To be honest I dont think it would be big enough for a Newfoundland as it isnt really a proper estate.

What about the Legacy? Definately bigger and I think they use the same engine etc.

I agree with Scooby Arthur. My bitch lab only just fits in with enough room to turn. A Newfoundland would need yoga skills.
