Does anyone know if its possible to get two average border collies in the luggage area of a Smart fortwo. (1 Viewer)

We are thinking of getting one as a runabout and to tow on a smart trailer sur le continent. Obviously short trips only.
We don't want anything larger for storage reasons. Our towing capacity is limited to 1400kg but in any case our 2.2L engine might struggle with any thing heavy.

Size wise it would be possible especially if you drop the divider, however it is quite noisy and hot directly over the engine.

Our border collie loves our smart car but when we had 2one used to lie in the passenger well and the other in the boot with or without the divider our smart is our second one done 80000 +miles love it our ist one did 70000but the wife pressed the key to lock it but it opened the roof we had tor rain it filled it to the dash and wrote it off. I said oh dear what have you done!

We have a Smart4Two & an average sized cockapoo. He fits fine but wouldn't like to put 2 in there! Best to try it out.

We had a toyota IQ and with rear seats folded , two collies would fit

I never liked Janie's Smart, I would say probably but the trouble with the boot over engine it gets very hot. Bob.

Agreed, we have found that dealers are more than happy to let you see if your dog fits in. I used to take a throw as common curtesy

Having had loads of Smart ForTwos I'd say with the older ones you'd struggle to get 2 in unless they sat all the time and you weren't going far, the newer one has a bit more room as it's slight bigger but again it could be a bit tight. It really depends on the size of your collies as they can vary quite a bit, next door to us have a massive one!

Nah, a roof 'box' to put one in to do some 'car surfing'!

I was behind a smart car today in colwyn Bay with a sticker right across the full rear bumper.

"SMART ARSE"

did make me laugh

This might help.
I also fitted a rear tyre from a top fuel dragster in the back of mine.

We had the older type smart 4 two some years ago, but before we had our two standard poodles, I would say boot would be uncomfortable for even one of them. If your collies are on the small side maybe OK for short distances. Newer type maybe a bit better, but still the engine is under the boot.

These should fit, they're from Cumbria so they'll be border caulis!
