I get this question all the time! "Hey Mauja, what is your favorite car?" Well listen up, because here's my top 5!
In the number five spot is the Volvo XC70. First of all, who doesn't like safe cars, but my reason for liking the XC70 is the fact that it is like an SUV but much easier for me to jump into. Some dogs don't like station wagons because they get caged in the back, but I always get a window seat whenever I travel!
For dogs that like to hide things, the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are great vehicles. With all of its hidden nooks and crannys, I can store my chew toys (I call them my babies) and bones anywhere in these cars. Another good thing about minivans is there is a lot of space for me to explore! Check out this picture of me exploring the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan.
Like the Volvo, the Suzuki SX4 Crossover can get me and my human just about anywhere and it has a low window line making it easier for me to stick my head out the window (I'm a pretty small dog). If I don't feel like sniffing out the window or a certain someone won't put the window down for me, there are so many windows in the SX4 Crossover that I can still see what's going on outside the car.
It may not seem like I'm a fan of cars with all these crossovers on the list, but there are many cars that I like. Although my "daily driver" is a Toyota Corolla, one of my favorite cars to ride in is the Mazda MAZDASPEED3. For me, the sporty seats help to hold me in place, but my human seems to have the most fun driving with a huge smile on his face!
Finally, my favorite car out right now is the Honda Element. Besides the wide opening side doors that make it easier to jump in, this is the only car that I've ever seen that actually comes with a dog package. I like jumping up into cars, but for older dogs who aren't capable of jumping this high, this package adds a ramp that my friends can walk up to get into the Element. This package also comes with a spill-proof water bowl in the back and an electric fan just for me! As much as I hate being locked in the back, the Dog Friendly Honda Element has a dog bed and shaded kennel, and the humans will like all of the dog paw prints and dog bone designs used on the seats and floor.
Oh, and one more thing: although some of the cars on this list have leather interiors, I actually prefer cloth seats. Yes, leather is easier for the lazy humans to clean up my fur (and the occasional en route illness), but with cloth seats I don't slip and slide all over the place! Of course I don't slide too far because I'm always strapped in with my seatbelt tether properly attached (safety first!). Humans have to wear seat belts and dogs should, too!

Mauja, thank you so much for this info. I have been wondering for a long time what your top cars are, I just haven't had a chance to ask you. And now I know!
