NOW CLOSED Mumsnet Cars: Add a car review and you could win a rafting trip for 6 (worth £320)

I won't need such a big car next time round, the pushchair and enormocarseats are no more.

The review of the Fiat 500 said everything I hoped it would :)

Done. Good timing as I didn't know about Mumsnet cars and we're planning to get a new one.

I've reviewed the VW Polo and the Audi A6 Avant. I enjoyed that!

Blondie - DH is 6' and doesn't fit in quite a number of cars - you just can't get the driving position far enough back for him. However, if you liked the Focus, we chose a skoda octavia rather than the focus because it was bigger for the same sort of money. DH can drive and I can sit behind him - OK he's not in quite the ideal driving position, but only one click off it, and I don't have much room - but then I'm 5'8 too so being able to sit in the back behind someone is pretty good. We've been in it with my parents with DS in the middle for quite long distances, absolutely fine. It has a HUGE boot.

I have already reviewed it, I suppose I'd better check its still OK as I did it sometime ago

I've added our cars. One of them twice as I didn't realise straight away that there's a separate family car and estate car section so I added our Toyota Avensis estate to the family car bit and then c&p'd to the estate car bit. MNHQ feel free to delete the rogue one :)

Also agree with blondieminx about the recalls, our Toyota is dh's car and I had forgotten about the two? three? times he's had it back at the garage due to recalls in the three years we've had the car. Could that be added to the review at all?

yes I know I've made a complete hash of this

Done.

Blondieminx: fair enough. Both dh and I are small, so it's not something we've had to think about.

Done. I love my little Fiat but DH wants a Qashqai as the mian family car so I'm off to check out the reviews (we are not replacing my car though, oh no).

My car is isn't in the review list, how do I add one?

Thanks prettybird

Mazda plus tall DH appears to be incompatible

Looking at the Qashqai now...

Done.

I LOVE my car (so very happy to post review), and I'd love a cold wet rafting weekend in Snowdonia, so bring it on ....

Blondieminx- I had a company Avensis before my Mazda6 and was going to buy the new one (as it was back then) almost without a test drive, if it hadn't been for the really shitty and arrogant service from my local Toyota dealer

As a result, I started looking around, read a review about the Mazda6 (and I'd previously had a Mazda 323 which I'd been very happy with) and thought it sounded worth having a look at. The service at the dealer we went to couldn't have been more of a contrast - but more importantly, once I test drove it and checked out the interior, I decided that it not only looked better (which OK, is a subjective opinion) and drove really nippily for a larger car, it had far better interior storage both for the front and rear passengers - something that for me was really important with a young family.

Now, the interior storage for the Avensis might have improved since then - it was a wee while ago now!

have just written a review on our car :)

I can't seem to add a review of my car as it isn't listed. Which seems odd as it is a typical Mummywagon. And I do see lots of them around, although it is a Honda F-RV and I live near Swindon so maybe there's a particular concentration here. Still, it needs adding as it has lots of positives for families. For starters there are 6 full seats without giving up boot space so you can still carry luggage for 6.

Have reviwed my beast. I'll save you the time in looking it up, just don't bother with an insignia!

I stand by every word of the review I wrote of my cee'd and agree with the What Car version too. Vast boot and superb, economical, comfortable family car. We drove it from Cambridge to Cornwall this summer - it was a very easy drive and far more comfortable than in the Focus Estate that we have previously used.

I think that family cars should come with removable washable seat covers...

Every time I click onto Mumsnet Cars my Internet Explorer locks up ("Not Responding"). I have tried several times over the last week with no success.

The irony is, we are in the middle of buying a car and would love to read some reviews.

Any ideas, oh techy peeps?

Our ideal family car needs to be comfortable for long journeys (air con essential), stylish and fun to drive. I guess safety must be high on the list as well. Both our cars already have reviews, which I have read and agree with.

my car isnt there, but I will post a review for it. And for my husbands car too.

I like my C Max and agree with the MN review. I'm sure there are higher tech small MPV's on the market, but for a five person family it is safe, reliable and importantly affordable. Not the sexiest car on the market by a long shot, but I am very happy with it.

The review on the golf is obviously for a newer model than mine! Want a new one now

i would be cock :)

added my review of my Jazz - best thing i ever bought (excepting the Hound of Poe)

The only review for the Toyota Rav 4 is mine but somebody liked it! That's a pathetically grateful face!

I have since then had a letter about a recall as blondie mentioned but am waiting to hear from the garage.
