Good mumsy car

My mother currently has a 2000 audi TT, and she wants to ditch it as its getting old.

What cool new cars are there that are "cool" (for a woman) like the TT?

The only requirement that she says she needs is usable back seats, the TT was faar too small in the back and is another reason for the change.

No real budget as such, but cant be silly expensive. Just want some suggestions to bat at her and show her some pictures etc

A3

New Civic

1 Series

Golf

New 3 series coupe :cool:

SLK? Boxster? 996 C2 Cab?

None are silly expensive

Tin top I take it?

330Ci would be an obvious choice, but not sylish/womany enough?

A3 in S-Line guise?

New Golf GTI?

Yeah the SLK would be cool. 2 litre version would be good. Shame about the lack of rear seats though.

1 series might fit the bill. Or a 3 coupe?

Maz - those cars arnt really flashy enough if you see what i mean, especially the honda, has to have good presence like the TT does

Fox is pimping the E46 coupes to me, i am loving them too and i could potentially but it from her at a later date then, certainly worthy of a suggestion.

She also really likes the new mini's, whilst it wouldnt be my choice what do people think?

None have decent sized rear seats either

This is just screaming 3-series coupe, she might love the cabs too

New Cooper S GP for ultra coolness

Edit: the GP won't have back seets

Mini's are a great cars IMO, stylish, perform well and hold their value really well. Not a fan of the interior though.

Mini Cooper S would rock, but the back seats arent worth much. I hope she doesnt want anything exclusive - there's load of them on the road!

The same applies the 3 series coupe - but one of those would be pretty good I reckon.

Sisters got a Cooper S, and its a riot to drive

The bini rear seats are a lot better than the TT ones!
