Best car to drive a newborn home from hospital in?

[a7x88]

Tesla model S - safest car around (apparently) and a little bit cool/different

Porsche Cayenne S for my two. They love V8's!

Interesting idea. I'd perhaps be a but concerned about running out of electricity. This would be especially concerning should there be a zombie apocalypse on the day we're driving back from hospital.

any old 4x4 diesel. will run straight on vegetable oil or any other oil for what matters. that way you wont run out of juice.

We took our son home from hospital in a bug eye Impreza WRX wagon.

My wife's requirements for a new car when she fell pregnant were:

1: Smallish estate
2: 4WD
3: Quick
4: ISOFix

The Subaru ticked all of those boxes, so we bought it. She then traded it 18 months later for an Audi S4 Avant, which still fulfilled her criteria.

Snap! Although it was a blob eye Impreza and it was our daughter! My son got brought back from hospital in a Toyota Corolla though. Sorry James (it was the Sport version though and a similar colour to the Impreza - Mica Blue)!

I think Richard Porter wrote an article about this in his Evo colum and came to the conclusion that a Mercedes S500 was the best car for the job.

Apparently 300 miles is possible with the 85Kw (400hp) performance version - and lets be honest, its the performance version we're after!
I hope for your (wife's) sake you live within 150 miles of a hospital!

Maserati Quattroporte, v8 to put little one to sleep, four doors so your Mrs can get in without trouble, big boot......

My lad came home in a B7 RS4 saloon. It's still in sue as the sole daddy waggon - babies love V8's, puts them to sleep straight away..

The off kilter rumble of a subaru flat four through an uncatted 3"drainpipe used to send mine off pretty sharpish

Unless it was the fumes ...

My two in 2001 and 2002 came home in a de-catted 410bhp HSV GTS-R.it had four doors and a big boot, along with wipe clean red leather seats that proved to be rather handy in the following months!

Aston Martin Rapide. Four doors and British class.

67 Buick Riviera with air ride matte wrapped for extra points .

My first child is due in November, and it's coming home in my C63. In fact I'm keeping the car for a couple of extra months specifically for this reason.

I hope the petrol head trait continues in the next generation.

If the answer isn't MX5, then it's this...

[minipower]

I was driven home in a big block 69 Camaro SS and then taken to nursery in a TR6. Go for something exotic.

Vauxhall VXR8?

Unsure on budget, but my recommendations would be:

E60 M5(That V10!!!)
Aston Martin DBS/V8 Vantage
Merc SL55 AMG(I think these have rear seats?)
Shelby GT500
Jag XR-R, XF-R(RS if funds allow)

What a fking stupid answer. I mean seriously. A M fking X fking 5!

It's only got two fking seats.

Which of course means you have to buy the missus a bus pass
