all he needs is space for a child seat though.
.
Which is unfortunately more space than most passengers need. Not many child seats fit the XK because the seat is a bucket - Porsche do their own sears but they're about 3k I think. .
Shame that I know all this...I'm only looking at saloons and SUVs now as eveything else is a pain. Doable, but a pain.

You need to do it. buy a porsche
I'm getting away with the MX5 at the moment because my wife's off work so we use the LR2 as the family wagon. As soon as she start's back at work we'll need two family friendly cars for nursery runs and the like. I thought I'd get away with a three door coupe but a week with a Focus of that configuration in the UK taught me that clambering into the back to strap the tyke down is a pain in the arse.
So its four or five doors until she's old enough to climb into the backseat and buckle up herself then...
6.2l V8 Camaro SS with 426bhp (so massive man points right there).
I was very surprised at the level of comfort and gadgets that come in the car e.g.
- Reverse camera (for the Mrs of course)
- Remote start
- blue tooth
- USB
- Heads Up Display
- cruise control
- flappy paddles (which is not bad but not as good as the VW)
Do I lose any man points for going with the yellow with black stripes?

I sat in the car for about 10mins before I set off for the test drive thinking "can I live with this for approx 2hrs 15mins every day?" - the answer was yes. The Mrs and the Salewomen were like "what are you doing?"
I did ask if Megan Fox (as seen in the original movie) could be incl. as part of the deal - I was laughed at! hahahahaha
