Do we need a CAR topic?

75 replies

I think we do.
We need a special topic to discuss cars. Wich ones to get, and not get.

I need this topic now.

From my personal POV it would have to be a 'BLOODY car' topic. Just at the moment.

Well, lets just say I have progressed from "bloody %£&"^ car !" to "MUST HAVE NEW CAR".

southeastastra · 14/04/2010 21:54

GFatemybaby · 14/04/2010 21:55

Well it would depend what your query was.. you could post your car related queries in any number of product/AIBU/ethical living topics no?

It is more like a Toyata RAV4 versus Nissan Qashqai, versus Subaru Forrseter. Pros and Cons kind of query.

Could you post in WWYD?

SusieCarmichael · 14/04/2010 21:58

MerlinsBeard · 14/04/2010 21:59

can't you just stick it in chat?

Or maybe in Aibu?

Aibu to want a 4x4 ?

or:

WWYD
Would you get a 4x4, a 7 seater, or try to combine both in one happy mix?

Products
Which 4x4 or 7 seater?

I am much puzzled.

Think that's the complaint about too many topics... Although I do actually agree with a motoring topic. There are alot of queries to be made about cars!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/04/2010 22:02

Go for the RAV4.
Nissan's make Micra's, nuff said.
Subaru - I don't think I know that model, is it ugly? Subaru's often are.

I would love a car topic. I would be really mouthy (see above) which is not like me at all as I'm quite mild mannered

thisisyesterday · 14/04/2010 22:03

you see, too many topics!

i think there should be ONE otpic for eeeeeeverything

I reckon either a general "what car shall i get?" on products

or, if you know what ones you've narrowed them down to then a list in the title

thisisyesterday · 14/04/2010 22:04

maybe we can swap all the pet-related ones for a cars one instead?

My sister has an impresa, and I love it. Though it is too low on the wheelbase for our use (and the boot too small). Equally the Legacy 4x4 estate (but the boot is great). So I guess we need a suv.

I love the rav4. But I worry it might not have enough space.

GFatemybaby · 14/04/2010 22:05

But what if you're querying a suitable car that your Alsatian can travel in comfortably??

mmmm????

Original poster
QuintessentialShadow · 14/04/2010 22:06

oh, yes, in chat and list the cars in the topic?

but I dont have a dog. so the Pet topic would not be of any use to ME. but were I to tow my hypothetical horse or my chicken! Now there is another headache....

OP posts:
thisisyesterday · 14/04/2010 22:07

maybe you want it to go on holiday in? in which case you would use the travel section???

lol

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/04/2010 22:09

The lady over the road has a RAV4 and gets her three boys in the back. There's naff all boot though.

See. I'm getting all serious about car choices whilst others are larking about with topics and sub topics

GFatemybaby · 14/04/2010 22:09

Hold on... I see what you're doing. This isn't a thread about wanting a car topic. You just want your own query answered. I see what you're doing.

Sneaky. Very sneaky.

You want a Fiat 500
Good idea though.

Please please please pretty please Olivia, let us have a Motoring topic!!!

OP posts:
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 14/04/2010 22:14

The one over the road is a few years older than that. The boot is big from top to bottom but not very deep. But maybe that's because I've got estates that have big boots?
