My husband and I are expecting a baby and are looking to buy a new car but we disagree on what is important. I want something practical like a station wagon, but he wants something a bit more sporty. What are the most important things to look for in a car for a young family? Has anyone had the same disagreements and if so, how did you resolve them?

I think any Volvo wagon made after the year 2000 would be a good family car especially being a big wagon and Volvo's are known as the safest built cars in the world and I know that by experience, I was in a accident with one and the only damage on the Volvo was some paint and a few scratches and my car, well the whole front was smashed in, I couldn't believe how much damage my car had taken compared to the Volvo which had no damage, I bumped of the Volvo like it was a rock...
So I say Volvo's are a safe solid car.
