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?

My wife and I are going (Slowly) through the same argument----I currently am 74 years old and drive a Ford XR6,my wife believes that it too powerful for me (Ridiculous!!) and wants to buy a Mirage or something similar. I f I have to change I would like a Mazda 6 as I believe it is an excellent car for the money. I do 99% of the driving and my argument is just that. Find out between you and hubby, what a car/wagon will need to hold ie pushchair, sporting gear, camping or fishing gear etc?? that should make your decision on what is needed a little easier to make.
