Dacia Jogger or Bigster for my dogs etc?

Which do you think is best please: Dacia Jogger Journey or Bigster? Both top of the range. This is for a single older lady driver with dogs. Also an artist and ceramicist carting lots of stuff about.

Hi Seraphina,

Either of those cars should serve your needs well, especially if you remove the rearmost seats from the Jogger to allow space for your dogs (it's an easy thing to do).

However, the Bigster – aside from being the newer and more impressive vehicle overall – comes with the added advantage of a higher driving position and so-called “hip point” so it should prove to be easier to get in and out of.

About the only downside to the Bigster that I can think of is that its boot lip at the back is higher up than the Jogger's, though that'll only affect small dogs or those that struggle with jumping up.

I highly recommend you pop along to a Dacia dealer for yourself and take both for a test drive.
