Anyway just something to think about if you have an large elderly dog & your considering buying an X60.
Thanks, at the moment the 11 year old Springer (19kg) can "spring" into the 940 but we lift the Skye Terrier(15kg) in.

One thing I'm noticing is that they are nearly all Diesel (the XC70 above are all diesel). We'd end up worrying about short journeys. Guess the 10 mile into town would be OK but the 2 mile trip to collect the bairn off the school bus might knacker the dpf.
