I'm 36 and according to my sister my car ages me ten years. Wtaf?! It's an Audi a6 estate. So yes, a "mum car". But is this a thing?!

Our cars are a landrover and a Renault clio. Had them since we were early to mid thirties.

Apparently the clio is an old lady car (old one, not the modern version!)

33 and a ford fiesta - 🤭🤭 i think it makes me seem younger because it's usually the first car kids get when they pass their test

Almost 30 with a Nissan juke

32 and drive a Skoda Fabia. We bought it off my husband's mother, so for all I know it also ages me haha.

A large SUV is much more a "mum" car. With the exception of Range Rovers which are "wanker in a Gillet" cars

I’ve driven estates since my mid 20s….. very practical car….not sure if that helps or not 😆

A nissan note or a really old Peugeot 107. I don't get the car status thing. I just like a car that gets from a to b. New Audi / new Mercedes / Range Rover - I know people love these cars but I don't understand the appeal. So lagw and expensive and samey. I am 48 and definitely in grumpy peri menopausal woman territory I expect.

47, Mini Cooper.

Forty six and drive a four year old hyundai i30.
I love having a small car now we don't have to do buggies and car seats. Also had my drive made over recently and we can fit three small cars on it which is great for me and two teenagers.

I was driving a VW Touran when I was your age! You need a sensible car if you have young dc.

I'm 40, we have a Nissan Leaf, which I mostly use, and a Mazda 6. I couldn't give less of a fuck what people think of my cars.
