Can you recommend a medium-sized estate for carrying my large dog?

Could you please recommend a small to medium stylish and sporty estate in which I can carry my large dog. Petrol with budget up to £24k?

The Skoda Octavia has a large boot and £24,000 will get you an SE L with the 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine producing 150PS. Alternatively, the new Ford Focus Estate is extremely good. Your budget will get you a sporty ST-Line model with the 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, again producing 150PS. While not quite as practical as the Octavia, the Focus is more enjoyable to drive.

I really want to buy a hybrid car, but cannot find an estate type vehicle under £23,000 allowing enough room for my dog to be placed in the boot. I'm therefore resorting to a diesel SUV. Please can you...
I'm looking for a reliable, quality large estate for under £20k, no more than five years old. I'm trying to decide between an older Mercedes E Class or a newer Ford Mondeo or similar size options.
