get a late classic with a TDi, and save yer pennies. If you want the extra
space, hunt an LSE, (although not sure they came with a TDi)

Better yet, buy a good 'un with a dodgy engine and get one of those 2.8
TDi-based powerstroke engines for it...

Is there sufficient space in the boot of a P38 for a pair of big dogs?

Putting my practical head on for a moment, when I know my budget I'll
go and test drive a rr p38, a rr classic and a disco and see if any
take my fancy.
I like the looks of the P38 but the electronics could be too much of a
headache.



You can't go passed a 300tdi Disco in my opinion
but you might have to leave one of the large dogs at home...
or you could fold the rear seats down take both dogs and leave the kids at
home !!!

Disco would easily accommodate my labrador cross and collie. For a
shortish journey the lab bitch was happy enough in there as well.
