…yep Mrs Benja is currently carrying the third in-line to my Exige, due in Sept If he/she arrives on time there will be a couple of weeks where I will have three kids under four years old…looking forwards to that
Anyways, I’ve started the lengthy process of deliberating what family wagon I need to house 3xkid seats as my current A3 Sportback ain’t gonna cut it I so don’t want a Zafira or some other dullness and I won’t get away with ‘doing a Jonny’ and accidentally buying a four seat car…please lads help me out with some suggestions.
Got no idea what to suggest, I am moving up in size to a 3 door A3 when it is delivered in July as I find my fiesta to small
Oh on the other hand have you considered a Ford S Max? they are supposed to drive well
Not too late to change to a low miles 5 door A3 Sportback TDI 170 Quattro S-Line matey I might know someone who is gonna be selling one soon!
Thanks for the tip about the S-Max I’ll take a look. MPV stylie is only when other options have been exhausted though tbh…plus that would do nothing for me in the power/weight stakes.
Tried that line but the it did not got exec approval She read it as I take the older kid who you can hold an intelligent conversation with and disappear over the horizon and she has to endure a longer journey time with the two with the highest propensity to scream.
Volvo V70, I’ll add that to the list. Do they do a V8 one I do tiny miles so maybe a luxo-barge may suit ala S8?
I ve tried a few “family wagons”, I tried having a sporty family car but their always compromised and never work, and driving them daily means they get boring so dont feel “special” after about a month.
I changed again recently from an M3. I wanted something with some offroad ability as the village I live in gets 2-3ft of snow every year and additionally my line of work can take me to side of hills & building type sites, but didnt want a big 4x4. Had to be good and comfy for long motorway journeys etc as well, and again had to be spacious and family friendly.
I picked up a 5 year old Audi A6 All-Road. Its absolutely first rate as a family car, looks nice on the drive, Audi always look good. It was cheap, especially considering it was �48k new (not even a 6th of its new price) has sat-nav, leather etc. And vast boot being an estate. And generally mint condition.
You can get diesels etc so good fuel economy. I dont pay for petrol, so dont worry to much, mine is the 2.7 V6 Twin Turbo version. Its not a rocket ship but it doesnt hang about either…
Its not everyones taste but i like it - and has proven ideal family car.
Going to be expensive.!!!
Try a Beema X3 tows well too. 38+mpg Oil burner with good ish acceleration…but looks terrible …so I have to travel disguised as a old git.!!..
Speak with Con - he’ll sort you out with a cracking deal on a MPV Pug, I’m sure [/quote]

"I’ve only got a look at a woman and she’s pregnant "
seriously though congratulations !
Ref the car you’re welcome to one of my new car discount forms or I can get you a nice ex management one.
We’ve just brought out the 5008 which is a really good car to drive. It’s had top press write ups also with the press praising it’s ride and handling - all in a car that’s got 7 seats.
I run an S-Max and am very pleased with it. I have just ordered one with he new 6 speed DSG twin clucth auto box. Easy seats 7 people and with all the back seats down I can get all my sons karting equipment in. Also tows very well, I have a box trailer for the single seater and this tows as good as my Range Rover ever did.
I have a 2.2 Diesel Manual that gives over 40mpg on a run but the new one will be a 2.0 Auto Diesel.
If he/she arrives on time there will be a couple of weeks where I will have three kids under four years old…looking forwards to that 
I so don’t want a Zafira or some other dullness and I won’t get away with ‘doing a Jonny’ and accidentally buying a four seat car…please lads help me out with some suggestions.
