Car for BIG dog!

Finally got the dog of my dreams but she won't fit in my car much longer.
I'm thinking a 7 seater with the two back seats removed. Don't know which cars allow seats to be removed rather than folded down.
Boot entrance should be as low as possible and boot floor should be flat!(hence wanting to remove seats!)
Can you tip a middle seat forward to allow access through side (maybe sliding) passenger door?
Or do I need a van?!?! Grin

Having said that my ex-AA Vivaro van has even lower side entry, more space, and is perfect for camping with your dog (and family, if you wish to take them . . .) Grin

My family have an enormous dog, and they got a Tiguan to give her enough room - the dog seems to like it!

I'm not sure on budget. Not new but not high mileage. Nothing is too good (or too big) for my baby puppy.
She says thanks BTW!

Tiguan would be out I think (like any SUB 4x4 vehicles) due to access height. Off to look at vans!

Awww - so cute :)

A quick look on ebay suggests berlingos around 25-30k mileage going for around 7.5 - 8k. My 'proper' van cost £5400 about 3 years ago but much higher mileage and I had to get it lined & side windows/back seat put in which obviously cost.
