oooh now I'm all confused! Serves me right for asking I guess!

My first love has always been Subaru's.. mmm a nice green subaru *drools* - but DH typically hasn't found them roomy enough. BUT the Forester was the best of the Subi's... we were just concerned that the boot space wasn't enough. I'd heard a story of a one-child family having to change once they had 2 kids, found it was just a bit cramped, and that the wheel arches get in the way... BUT Nai, you fit both stroller & dog in boot together? Then it should be fine! And Tan you said it was great too...

We also were really keen on the CRV, but thought that would have same issue with boot space. When we stuck pooch in the boot of our neighbour's CRV, it didn't seem to leave much room! BUT purplemamma you said your exH fits a rottie & a pram! Guess I don't need to worry then, cos our pooch is much smaller than a rottie!!

Blizz - I thought the diesel wagons were already out? It sure sounds like you're very similar to us... so maybe the Mazda wagon is the go... I really do like what i see there (very sexy for a wagon!)...but there's just so few of them for sale! I want one a few years old... and they seem to be like hen's teeth!

Lol all nice choices at least.. and I've got some time up my sleeve (or in my belly!). Thanks for the suggestions, and pls don't stop just because I'm confused!
