@Mariella, I just added another post about the dog friendly honda element. I also just visited their website and saw a pretty cool slide show of the new car at http://automobiles.honda.com/e.....ories.aspx

It looks like the dog bed in the back is custom made for the Honda Element. I’m not sure if you can get it separate without getting the full package add on when purchasing the car.

@Erin, thanks for your response. I haven’t considered the Pontiac Vibe, but I’m going to take a look at it now. It looks similar to the Mazda 3.

25/30 is good gas mileage. I actually have three cars that were high on my list after the OC Auto Show:

Toyota Prius 51/48 – great gas mileage and roomy interior.
Scion xB 22/28 – not very good gas mileage. Very roomy interior. Low price. Test drove the manual and it was fun to drive.
Mini Clubman 28/37 – good gas mileage for a non-hybrid. Interior might be too small for dogs. Fun to drive. Price can be a little high if you start adding options

I was looking at the Jeep Wrangler, but after talking to people, reading consumer reports, and hearing about the maintenance issues I decided to take it off my list. Also, the gas mileage would have killed me.

I plan on going to the LA Auto Show in December and will take a look at as many cars as possible. If anyone else has any other suggestions please leave a comment

I’m looking at the Pontiac Vibe, looks very roomy, had great reviews and gets great gas mileage – 25/30

I don’t know how green it is per se, not something I’m overly concerned about myself, but I’ve seen good reviews on it, and am looking forward to test driving it myself.
