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?

yep have that all the time because I grew up loving ford v8 cars my wife is a bit more concretive than that and she looks at what will keep us going long term which is the wright way to go but it still didn't take the longing for the v8 away so we came to an agreement that we would get the car that suited the family and when we got a head a bit we could get the v8 which suited both of us but the agreement has to be kept ,
but back to your question first look at price what you can afford ,rember that things happen like unexpected things happen along the way I found over the years I have found depending on the use of the car, if you have to travel a fair distance then a 6 cyl car is what you need but if you are only going to be traveling say 15/20 kays to work and shops then you can get away with a small 4cyl car but if you like to go away on the weekends then look at a ford or commodore a good second hand one of these somewhere around 10/15 thousand dollars and wont brake the bank ,if you get a 4cylender car look at a Hyundai elantra very safe and roomy but keep the services up and you will have no trouble wit it ,I hope that this has been of some help to you .

thankyou
