Depends how big your dog is? If your talking Labrador size then I'd get the estate anything smaller than the hatch should be ok

[Johnginger]

It's a Dalmatian

[O.C.D.]

  this size or maybe this

[pee81]

I'd get the estate

Estate vote here - our Labmararner fitted well with space!

I don`t think a dog likes a lot of room in the hatch. The more room they have the more they get chucked around. They do not have hands to hold on to anything you see.  I think you need to take the dog for a test drive. The test drive should consist of a citygo and a fabia hatchback. After the test ask your dog what it thinks. Before the test you could maybe work on a code. I.E. one bark for yes and 2 for no. Do not let the dealer know the code as he will try to sell the dog his most exspensive Superb.

 

I think the dog will prefer a slower car. Fast excelleration, late braking and firm suspension are not their thing. Ask your dog if you do not believe me, remember the code. Dogs are more interested in sniffing, chasing balls and eating anything slightly organic.

 

I would just like to say congradulations on putting your dogs wishes first when choosing a car.

Get a vrs hatch and trade your dog in for something smaller. Smaller dogs have better power to weight ratios and a lower centre of gravity.

I have a GSD and he is more than happy in the hatch

My partner uses hers too transport her Collie.

Place a bumper protective strip , the stick on transparent version from Skoda  is fine ,surprising robust. Collies claws do not penetrate.

Get a greyhound, better performance than either the dalmation or the vRS.

vRS would be a good choice for a dog, they are notoriously poor with clutch control (due to hind leg shape) so the semi-auto suits them well.
