I appreciate the advice/attempts to help but please read the whole thread especially the parts re: sturdy German etc.
Not a Fiat there a bag of crap
I bought one for my mother a few years ago with 20,000miles on the clock and by the time it got up to about 27,000miles on the clock it had the gearbox rebuilt, new clutch , New front suspension, New thermostat housing

Time to put the kids first eh
Obviously it is otherwise she'd still be in her 207
That's not to say we can't find one that she likes too.
Time to put your glasses on.

He says replying to 6 month old posts?
I appreciate it may be difficult for some to understand the way they are quoted, have another look see and then tell me again that I'm replying to a 6 month old post.

Yup, still stumped why you included my 6 month old post in there!
Although if you're looking at q7s then you've definitely heeded it cos man they are fugly.
Really? Anyone else?
I know this thread is getting old, i had a good chuckle at it but i feel you pain, women and cars are a pain. Last year my wife had her heart set on a mazda6 had be black and petrol took me 3 months to find one. Everything i pointed out to her during that time she would find a reason to say no, she wrote off one car because it didn't have a cup holder!!! I would go down the estate route or SUV. Have you considered a Touareg?

Apologies if this has already been covered but I thought you said a 3 series was too big, now you're looking at Q7s? 
Have you looked at S-Maxes? They're pretty much designed for this sort of use. With the third row of seats down you'll have acres of room for prams and associated paraphernalia.
Standing at the side of the road waiting for a recovery truck isn't always safe, depending on where you're stopped.

I totally read that as she deliberately crashed it. Or had an accident because she was trying to juggle a coffee.

Actually the S max is a good call, my brother in law has one they have 3 kids and that is all the space they need.
Wrote off was the wrong choice of words,
, she didn't like it at all hence removing from the list of cars i was trying to get her to look at.Haha its got even worse now as apparently I have turned her into a badge snob as she doesn't want a volvo or vw either.
Haha yep, that is where we are at. She now resigned to the fact she'll have to have a big car if she wants to fit the assembled pram and shopping in the back.Apologies if this has already been covered but I thought you said a 3 series was too big, now you're looking at Q7s?

Regarding the smax, see new snobbery mentioned above.
Really? OK show me what BMW or Merc you'd prefer not to be in during a motorway crash and actually be safer in a fiat.Ah right. So you don't want a car that's actually safe, you want one that has an unfounded perception of safety.
Edit: I don't actually care, I know what I'm after (kind of).
