so what car do you all have?

[misdee]

we are getting a zafira. i feel all boring and mumsy.

I used to drive a Yaris but since having dd2 (have 4dc) and being a CM i have had to drive DH's Mercedes V Class.

I was terrified tbh as it is huge in comparison to my wee Yaris and it's an automatic. I will NEVER EVER drive a small car again. I love it!!

We have a Jaguar and to be totally honest I would love for us to a have something like a Zafira but dh wont get rid of his precious car

We don't have a car

I love my Zafira. Its much easier to park that the Galaxy I used to have. I have the diesel model so it is more economical to run.

I also like the fact that I can have a really big boot space for shopping/taking stuff to recycle when I don't have the children.

We have a smaller second car which my husband drives and soon we will have to insure for DDs (2 x 16.9) to learn to drive.

I have a Citroen C8

zafira which k to drive but we find horrible to use with dc as back seats have to stay up giving no boot space-my double only fits if i strip everything off it eg hood coseytoes then thats it boot full. and to put seats in back up and down is pain in ass as have to undoe car seats from the middle!the next car we get will have to have a bigger boot.

I have a 8 seat toyota previa, plenty of boot and leg space. Wanted a c8, but as dh is 6ft 6 I don't think my dc will be short, so needed the extra leg room!!

we have a nissan terrano - 7 seater 4x4

and WE LIVE ON A FARM!

I have a Zafira and find it too small. Severely restricts your pram choice, misdee!

Toyota Corolla Verso, love it.

We've got a Zafira - mostly it's only me in it these days, but we can fit 6 of us in (all above 5'7 now) if necessary and it is SOOOO useful for shifting stuff about (though only when there aren't 6 people aboard of course)

How're you doing, misdee?

I have a peugeot 406 but I want to get rid of it so I can get a new car!

I have a Honda Jazz and it is the most practical, economic and reliable car I've ever had but by god it is boring and mumsy.

I have this

I love it.

But I'm not a large family... obviously LOL

misdee I have a leetle question for you.

I read ages ago (and who knows why I remember such info, but i do) that you felt sick shortly after ovulating in your pregnancies, and this was a signal you were pg.

Has this pg been the same? Or is it a natural occurence for you after O'ing?

Feel free to tell me if i'm being nosy

we have nissan serena 7 seats but will get a Previa when we need to upgrade to 8 seats.

anything you wanna tell us Sorky?

we have an 8 seater peugeot 806. Its big but still quite a squash with 4 children and two dogs in!

erm.....no

lol sorkycake, i basically start to feel sick about 5 days before AF is due if i am pregnant. this time was exactly the same. i went out with my sister 2 days before i tested, and it was like waves of travel sickness all the time.

back to cars...

i feel a bit sad that we are getting a zafira, as i'm not a big fan of them. would love something bigger with more space, and will be looking into a roofbox, as cant see how we can go on holidasy with 6 seats up.

I wouldn't get zafira, a friend of mine has one and the seats at the back are too close to the rear of the car, she doesn't like it and is planning to change it as soon as.

I think I'm either going for a Galaxy or XC90, not new obv, but will give me the room we need.

unfortunatly, we are limited by what we can afford on the mobility plan for the car. the zafira has £149 advance payment. i would;ve loved the citreon c4 grand picasso but it was out of our budget.

how's things then misdee?

all settling down I hope?

She does get very good mileage out of it and it hasn't broken down once on the plus side, which is rare for an mpv (mpg)

Audi A6

If we have another child, we'll have to get something even bigger.

Can you get a diesel engine, misdee? They're a lot cheaper to run, even now the price has gone up so much.
