I have a pontiac vibe, and I love it!! It is not big/tall enough to fit a Riley sized crate in it though. I seatbelt him in the back. I have the back seats folded down, and a dog bed in the back. I have fit 4 big dogs in the back before, and everyone is comfortable. I also hike/track alot with Ry, and it holds all our stuff great! With gas prices right now I really love it (would ideally prefer a bigger SUV, but am perfect for now).
