Is it common or is it just happening to me?

Niall recently bought himself a new car, all I heard for weeks was facts on engines, etc.

Now its my turn to get a new car, I ask for advice (I know nothing about them) I ask what car would suit for me and the amount of driving I do.

All of a sudden he knows nothing . I'm left scouring through cars trying to find something suitable

Do you do a lot of motorway driving? Do you need a saloon to carry more than yourself around?

If you answer no to both, something like a VW Polo or Ford Fiesta will do the trick, a city car for the weekly shopping

You mean he didn't get you one at the same time even though you listened to him gabbing on for weeks?! Hmphh!

He got himself his beloved Audi A4

I'm driving a 7 seated at the moment but I want something smaller but not too small.

I'm looking at Opel Astra's, or a Skoda superb. I do a lot of motorway driving and driving in general taking the kids here there and everywhere

So I want something reliable but that isn't gonna cost me a fortune

Sorry missed the cost bit

Try the Hyundai 131 or slightly bigger 141 good price & easy on juice

We use them as fleet cars in work

It all depends. As you said you do a lot of motorway so something diesel is the way to go for economy. I have 2 kids and drive a passat. It's the perfect size. Had a mondeo before that. A little bigger than the passat but perfect again for what I needed.

How many kids have you? In a former life I was involved in car sales so ask away any questions you might have!

Only people who say that are people who can't afford an A4, just saying

I have 4 kids that constantly want to be driven somewhere

I'm just looking for a car best suited to me that won't cost me too much to run. Got to be a diesel though

If the 4 are in the car at the same time ure probably better off with the 7 seater. In saying that in my 08 mondeo i had one of mine had to stretch to hit the other lad across the back seat!! A fine big bus.
