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?!

😁 I drive a Toyota Prado, but I live in the literal African Bush and drive rocky dirt tracks more than roads. But I am a mum, so it's definitely a mum car. And I sometimes even wear a Gillet - now I'm panicking that pushes me in wanker territory. Either the car or the gillet will have to go.

No you're fine. It's the wankers who do the school run or drive to city centre offices in them that are the joke - but strangely they don't seem to get it.

Are you having a bad day ? 😔

57 and an elderly Landrover Freelander (not a posh RR wanker Grin) as I have an allotment, a dog, and mucky grand kids!

Cornflakelover · 15/12/2024 18:24

Presently a 3 year old x2
getting a new Volvo XC40 black edition in April
I’m 43
My son is grown up so I don’t need a big suv but I much prefer them

my dh has a new BMW i4

I get a new car every 3 years as I lease same as my DH

We have always had BMW/Mercedes for years so the Volvo for me is a total change

Jc2001 · 15/12/2024 18:24

Boring Citroen Picasso. Motorcycle for fun

CoodleMoodle · 15/12/2024 18:25

We're both 35 and have a Honda Jazz. It's was DH's decision (joint car, I wasn't bothered). Before that we had an old style Ford Fiesta, which I bought when I was 20.

53 Škoda Enyaq Estate. They say it’s an estate but it’s more of an SUV. I love it.

Also have a Skoda Enyaq and I'm 36, love the car perfect size for family life!

Do you like your Karoq? We are thinking of getting one next year, either that or possibly a Kamiq

Only one of mine is paid for though but I think I now own more of it than the bank does 😁

Absolute rubbish. My son, just turned 25, bought himself a used Audi a6 estate. He wanted this car as it meets all his needs, ie
power and to fit all his fishing gear in. Surely the point of having a car is to have one that meets our needs ☺️
