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 can vouch for the Subaru forester (or any Subaru, for that matter). Very safe, long lasting and comfortable cars. You'll find that boot space is very handy (with more people you'll have more stuff to transport, when travelling for example).
I would also look into the Hyundai ix35. A rapidly growing company with more affordable options that don't leave out the important stuff.
