Seat Altea Fr?
Loads of dog room, fit a towbar for the bikes and has plenty of poke
They’re not that common and petrol one’s even less so.
Found just one on eBay

For reasons I won't go into, the purchase of a freshly imported forester sti i posted a few pages back has fallen through. It's no bad thing though as it's made me reconsider whether any car is worth having a bank loan for (it isn't), so I'm back searching for a car with a tighter budget of between 4 and 5k.
Requirements:
Petrol
Manual
Space for a greyhound in the boot and bikes on roof or towbar (preferably estate)
Engine size no greater than 2.5l (pre-08) or emissions under 225 g/km (08 on)
Understated
I looked at hatches like focus st and mazda 3 mps and the wife has no'd them as they look like "boy racer cars", which is funny as the forester sti was much more lairy.
Any outside the box suggestions?
