Not sure German or Japanese have a better rep than US or Canadian built any more.
Check out Kijiji.ca for second hand trucks in your area.

Marvin the paranoid android.
Ford Escort station wagon. Ford hasn't had as much trouble as GM and other manufacturers with financial and recall problems in recent years, and a Ford Escort station wagon is almost identical to the Ford Escort estate model found in the UK.
The station wagon gives you options on either putting the dogs in the trunk and still carrying passengers, or putting the back seats down and carrying extra cargo as well. The pic is one I found on Google, and is of a 1997-1999 model. Looking at this, one could probably pick a used 1997 model one up for around $2000, and more for a newer one with less mileage on it (130,000km = roughly 80,000 miles).
what is a good car to get regards to reliability / fuel consumption - oh wants a pick up or something that'll ferry 2 big dribbly dogs regularly, we'll be over on a twp so i figure get somethin non too expensive then once get pr splash out on somethin better. opinions please
thanks in advance
