New motor for wife, suggestions please.

Johnnyq79 · 04-11-2009, 08:55

Hello,
my new wife currently drives a 2006 hatch corolla. 70000 kilometres.
She thinks she is all grown up now and wants a newer 'wife' car. She wants,
a bigger engine,
a 2007 car,
Trade in,
but not spend anymore than around €4000.

No kids, maybe in the next few years.
She does about 130 kilometres a week for work.
Can anyone suggest any cars?

Thanks.

First I would suggest that you don't let your wife read this

otherwise your new car will most likely be a wheelchair

Jesus. How patronising can one person be?

I read the title and thought you weanted to a new car for your wife in the sense that you wanted an amazing car to be spend all of your time with!!

I was looking forward to another thread of amazing cars and their merits...

Im so dissappointed.

DO you think she'd be interested in a 07 Sportage 2L? My Missus is looking to get a smaller car

Agreed ... a 'wife' car indeed

i ain't touching this one with a barge pole... could open up a can of worms...

Hey again.
I honestly was not being patrionising. My wife hasn't seen this thread but that is the way she herself described this new car that she wants. She does want a family car but does want a 'wife' car.
I'm just relaying the description.
Was thinking or an avensis, or a passat?
2l sportege.... Too big, sorry.
Come on, more suggestions?

Her indoors moved up from an Ibiza 3dr in 2007 to a Volvo V50 and she still loves the car.

Estate is big enough for the dog, it's a proper grown up car with all the bells and whistles, and there is room for little ones if they come along.

Damn, thought you were proposing a swap, I was about to ask you to post some pics of her before I'd commit

Savman · 04-11-2009, 16:26

Yeah, pics of the wife or GTFO.

bmx??

Johnnyq79 · 04-11-2009, 19:36

Savman, that's not very nice now is it.
Just for the record....my wife is like a Bugatti Veyron.....the very best there is!

Looks like she is leaning towards an avensis.

*Berty* · 04-11-2009, 19:44

Any serious suggestions?

How about a Peugeot 307/308? Or even a 307/308SW?

Very "wifey".
