Is the Landrover too big for you? My coworker had some issues with the Rogue, she said it has horrible blind spot because of the window design.

Don't Landrovers only take premium fuel? Ouch!

You're crazy! Pilots are the PERFECT dog car--2 crates fit in the ack with the 2nd row up. Perfect perfect perfect

And that is exactly why it will be my next car. Do you which size crates you have in there?

Honda should pay you a commission whenever I get around to purchasing one.

Yup, my car only takes premium too. Definitely ouch!

If you like the Honda, why not consider the CRV. My wife just got one in November and we love it. Great gas mileage, roomy, fits a crate and good looking too!

That problem doesn't exist with the Murano. They all come standard with a rear camera.

I have a RAV4. Has a terrible blind spot, "floor" isn't level when seats are laid down. Knocks unless you use premium fuel. Crates fit it in just fine and there is plenty of room for a dog. It's ok but I"m not crazy about it.

I have an Xterra and I have nothing but problems with that vehicle. Great in the snow and pretty good gas mileage, compared to my Ram. But, 5 years old and falling apart week by week. I have a used Honda Civic and used Toyota celica (daughters cars) that are older and in better condition than my Xterra.

That said, I find the room in it a bit challenging. Travelling in it with 2 kids, 2 dogs and luggage makes it very cramped. However, the back area of it is a plastic flooring instead of carpet which is much better for dirty paws.

We have a MINI Cooper Countryman (the 4 door version) with a trailer hitch. Average MPG city is about 26-28, highway is 36-38 last time we checked.

Here's a pic of the day we picked him up(all MINIs have a name, his is Wulfric) . Oh, and also has the roof rack on in this pic.



And after a bit of accessorizing,

I had a Santa Fe- the mileage difference between it and the Silverado/Suburban is negligible...BUT I could get 3 400 crates in it with a small amount of room....it was VERY crash safe tho! When I was totalled out in it, my dogs were safe...now if a BIG vehicle hit it from the rear - not sure the dogs would have been as safe...so the dogs go in the Surburban, with the seats down so 3 500s fit, and I can still put a 400 sidewise between the back hatch and the other 2 crates...not economical at ALL! So commuting is in an old zoom zoom....
