noooooooooo, not a mini! they are awful... honestly. what about a yaris? they are VERY safe.

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:00

THat is quite a big leap from a 4x4 to a mini! Is there not some middle ground

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:01

My friend has a mini they are so cramped inside, they just smack of someon trying too hard to be cool!

beetle then? VWs are good.

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:08

I had a Yaris, but it was an SR... was a nice nippy sporty looking thing, but not tooooooo sporty looking!

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:11

oops Megglevache well at least you know it and admit it!

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:14

We are currently buying a car, not a new one but are hvaing the same problem as I think most cars are dull.

What about A Chrysler Cruiser also bought by people trying to be cool or different but at least not cramped!

UrsulatheSeawitch · 14/08/2006 00:15

What about a Honda Jazz? They're dead cool and come in some fab colours (that one excepted )

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:15

I second the Jazz... DH worked for honda for a while and raved about them.

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:18

Mazda 6 have quite a lot of good press, not my cup of tea but has had some great reviews

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:20

is that the one with the funny back doors?

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:28

Don't think so Mazda 6 but perhaps not in canary yellow!

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:29

very rude boy! be better I guess toned down

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:29

Do you mean the mazda 5 with the sliding door?

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:30

possibly... its abit sporty with a tiny door thing at the back

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:31

Mazda 5

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:32

no no... not that.

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:32

Don't know you have lost me, we could always google "a bit sporty with a tiny door thing at the back "

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:33

RX-8

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:34

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:34

twinsetandpearls · 14/08/2006 00:35

Certainly less dull than our options and also got great reviews.

Quootiepie · 14/08/2006 00:37
