Hi all. I'm on the lookout for an estate car with a suitably sized boot to carry my two greyhounds. Just wondered if anyone on here has a Fabia Estate and uses the boot space for their dogs? Do you find there's sufficient room, also what do you use as a dog guard to block off access to rear seats?

I was looking at a 16 plate estate yesterday and the salesman sent me a video of the car as not in my area. It looks perfect but the boot flooring only looks like a thin piece of carpet and I'm concerned it won't be strong enough to hold my dogs' weight?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Andy

 

 

The Fabia has a big boot, bigger than it should be for the class of car, much like the Octavia and Superb. Skoda's fortee has always been big boots.

 

Don't worry about the thin carpet, it's just the covering, the boot floor will be suitably strong enough.

 

Skoda offer a few option for carrying animals in the boot...

A lot of people rate these types of solutions too...
