DH and I have very different ideas as to which car to buy!

[NaughtyNigel]

He sees something practical, diesel, boring. I see something small, funky, cheerful, cool. all for around the 3K mark(!)
any ideas?

who is going to use the car more?
What kind of journeys is it mostly going to be used for (short around-town, long haul motorway etc)?
how many kids and of what ages are you transporting?

It would be me driving car to work and back - 20 miles round trip every day - also to pick up DDs from school some days.
I think if it's going to be for me then i should be able to choose - therefore cool, funky and good colour comes above practicality - dontch think?

lol yup,thankfully me and oh have similar ideas,lol,
we had a lovely peugeot 306 and have just traded it for an MGZR which i love,its so pretty and is great on petrol,and pleanty room for me and the 2 kids,i can even (just) squeeze 3 carseats in the back,
theres pleanty of funky diesel models around,how many kids do you have?depends on what sort of size of car you need,
