Hey thanks for your response! I swear just over a year ago when I was on this forum is was extremely active... but seems quiet now.. maybe its because I asked about a new age! I did think about a Levorg, however as you say it would need to be an STi which I think are maybe coming to UK this year or next? But then it’ll be new car money :’(. I would ideally like something newer, i.e. 2017 model year or newer rather than an older legacy. So i think I’m pretty stuck as my dog would 100% destroy the rear seats, so definitely not worth it. I would go with another hatch, but they’re ageing a bit now and I do a fair few miles each year (around 20k), so don’t want to buy something high mileage.

So I also posted this in the Impreza discussion forum, but after anyone who can help advise! Ok, so a year or so ago I sold my WRX STi hatch in favour of a Skoda Octavia VRS due to having a young child and a large dog (Labrador) therefore wanting for something bigger... however regretting my decision I am thinking of getting a new age 2017~ ish WRX STi... however there is no way my dog could go on the back seats as she molts to much and would not sit still, even with a doggy seat belt and seat covers it would be a nightmare, so my question is, can you remove the ‘parcel shelf’ (if such thing exists) in the new age saloon? Or is it fixed in place? If removed, could the dog sit behind the back seats in the boot, but with her head popping up and be able to see out of the back window? Only other option is another hatch, but they’re all high mileage and I do a fair few miles myself and fancy something a bit newer and nicer inside. Thanks Matt
