Help, the Mrs is after a new car ....

[JM3]

She's after a new car, and I'm lost with what to suggest / look at.

I live in a city, and it's mainly town driving, so the obvious choice for her is a range rover evoque. Curbs are high in Cardiff....

Her criteria:

Big one
Better than her sisters (Kia sportage)
Phone connects straight away

My criteria:
Under 15k

Fits in with the high curb dilemma.....

Based on the recent fanboi comments on here... All she needs is a 15 year old sabb 9-5.

[Ghost91]

BMW X5
Nissan Qashqai
VW Toureg

Just a few that came to mind, all of which look better than the Kia.

Don't think I'd own any myself... I'd go for a Range Rooney for about 10k and keep the rest for a private plate and a just incase fund for when it expensively breaks, which it probably will. Lovely cars though.

Volvo xc60
Ford kuga, dont discount the mk1 either, great machine.

[Deerfoot]

Yeti.

Let me help add some criteria for you:-

Not a bloody diesel.

Not a bloody SUV.

Now you might end with a tolerable car that will not kill any local children.

Nissan Leaf?

Sir, what an eclectic list of suggestions you have there. From Seat Ibiza, to Lincoln Navigator, then straight back to Fiat 500L then of course naturally back to the ML55. And lest we forget the seemingly favourite 9-5!!

Also, the Seat was advertised as 'Excessive Boot Space'. Choice wording there from the dealer (see link below)

Alternatively, just set fire to some tyres in your garden and dump rat poison in the local reservoir.
