Are you one of the many people in this world that have a large dog? Do you often wonder what would be the best vehicle to have for you and man's best friend? We at Diamond Honda of Glendale are asked this questions all the time and up until late the answer had been the Honda Element, since it has been discontinued dog owners have been turning to another Honda models.

First up is the 2012 Honda CR-V. Even though it is considered a compact crossover, the cargo room inside is nothing like compact. With over 70 cubic feet when the seats are down there is plenty of room for your faithful friend. Because of the smaller size the Honda CR-V is very efficient EPA-estimated 23 mpg city/31 mpg highway^*.

But let's say you have a really big dog... We're talking a B-I-G dog that needs some serious room to stretch. In that case, the 2012 Honda Pilot might be your ride of choice. Total cargo room with the seats down? With three rows of seating, you can actually put only the third down, and still have room for five passengers to sit comfortably. That option provides you with a total of 47.7 cubic feet of room. Putting both rear rows of seats down? That'll net you a grand total of 87 cubic feet. The 2012 Honda Pilot is also a great choice if you're looking for something with a little more power to it. Available in either front- or four-wheel drive, it features a 3.5-liter, 24-Valve SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine under the hood.
