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?

Honestly The one that will be the cheapest to fix. We have 8 cars and 3 bikes from BMW Mini coopers to Holden HSV and Harley Davidsons. It doesn't matter who makes it these days they will all end up with some sort of problem that needs fixing. For instant. Wesco did a simple service on the mini, we pick it up and it over heated on the way home. $3500 to replace a plastic thermo fan. If it has a computer, which they all do then I am afraid to say it will never have a mechanic work on it even in a dealership. They are all simply NEW PART FITTERS hence why they are now call Technicians as all they do is whatever a computer tells them to do and not even have the common sense to even look at what or why they are changing an expensive part. Forget about keeping up with the Jones's as they will be re mortgaging their home for the next service on their new SUV or 4X4
