Buy a BMW badge to stick on when she's looking. |

I drive a peugoet 3008 which has plenty of room on the inside & it has a nice sized split boot & i can fit a quite large wheelchair in the bottom then it has a shelf for the shopping. I used to have a few years ago a Fiat Multipla which was huge on the inside & has loads of boot room, it is a bit wider than normal cars but that is because it has 2 rows of 3 seats. They are old but something like a doblo will give you plenty of boot room as it is like a van.

I'm sure she would but it's purely the badge.

I've a 320 TD Estate - oldish but the best buy I've ever made re motors.
Surprisingly good economy - 35 around town and 50 on motorways if not booting it.

The other is a tdci. £30 a year tax, as quick as my car on the day to day (thanks to our crap roads and sizeable traffic). You don't need an estate or people carrier.

If you've got that kind of budget, I'd be looking at brand new Kia's.
7 year warranty is not to be sniffed at.
I've got the new sportage, Plenty of room all round. My wife has a 1 series, I've found her car a nightmare whenever I've had to sit in the back due to lack of space although it has a surprisingly good sized boot. Definitely wouldn't recommended it as a family car though. |

I've had BMWs for years. Got rid of my X5 to get something more sensible for travelling to the match each week. Currently run a 318 touring, loads of boot space, £30 tax & I get 52 mpg although the book says 72? Definitely recommend it!

I've got a CRV and would definitely look at a Sportage as a replacement |

I'm really impressed with my Sportage, normally find a few niggles with cars I've had but can't with this one. Taken four adults in it to away games a couple of times and the 3 in the back do say how much room they seem to have. Think it has 10 air bags + extra safety features which are handy. I'm not really a car person but it has a few gadgets and everything I need.

I've been looking at leasing a Sportage. Prices seem quite reasonable.
