    Has anyone tried to put a dog in the boot? How did they go?

    Had a second look at the Tig today and what I thought was an ok boot now seems really tiny

    It better be a small dog.

    Something like that won't fit.

    Care to be a little more specific on what sort of size/breed dog you're talking about? Small dogs (Jack Russell's, Foxie's, etc) up to medium sized dogs (Border Collie's, Lab's, etc) should be quite comfy if you only have one in the back. Anything on the larger side (Rhodesian Ridgeback, Alsatian, Rottie, St Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, etc) might be a little snug back there with the back seats up, but they'll be fine on shorter trips if they don't keep trying to turn around. Folding the seats down would make their lives quite comfy tho.


    Of course, you could always ask my mate Google

    I don't actually class anything under the size of a Beagle as a dog. I've got a Lab

    Reason for buying a new car is boot space for him and the golf clubs, daughter is a little over having his tail whip her face

    I have a Chihuahua X Corgi and she won't sit in the boot anyway!

    I have a Border Collie... but he rides on the back seat.
    Would have loved to put him in the back... but wasn't convinced there was a lot of room... and he isn't the best traveller at the best of times.

    Over Christmas plan on probably doing the split back seat trick when we have lots of gear plus him to take to the coast.

    So I presume a guncase will fit as well. I don't have any guns (anymore) to test with though ..... was forced to leave them all behind when I moved here ....
    Well I played golf for first time since picking up Tig and I must
    say the boot space is ****e, really disapointed

    can't even get my smaller stand bag in without pulling 40 split
    all the way forward, even my old '93 pulsar can take all of my
    bags sideways! Just a silly designed boot space

    Wouldn't that have been evident when you bought the car?
