What is interesting is that your daughter is nearly 30 and your still concerned about the kind of car she is driving.

Is there an age at which parents should not be concerned about their children then?

If you're that bothered get her some skid pan training.

No, but there also has to be an age at which you let them get on with it.

Mazda MX-3?

Daihatsu Copen? Suzuki Cappuccino? Take your pick from any Jap Kei car really and be also be safe in the knowledge she wont be able to do much more than 65mph

I'm guessing the twin V6 Lupo idea wasn't very helpful

Citreon C2 VTR/GT. They have an interesting boot that half folds down for when she goes shopping that makes it easier to put her stuff in. Plus looks good.

Also maybe the new Micra looks kinda interesting. Not my sort of thing but most girls I know think it looks cute.

If she does get an MX-5 good quality tyres are critical for wet driving, since the backend of the MX5 is light its very picky as to what it likes.

Don't get a C2, unless you also get her breakdown recovery.

Not all C2s are that bad. Most of them are but some, if looked after are good. You would just have to have a good look around.

My ex's mum had her for 60 miles, and it broke down on the motorway.

In what way is it more interesting than a Micro/Polo/Corsa/Polo/Fiesta/Arosa/Yaris?

You've done 30,000 miles a year in a Citroen C2?!?!?!?!?

Talbot Sunbeam Lotus.

Wholly unsuitable in almost every way, but interesting.
