    Default Being a little less frugal when buying a new car - NoB!!

    NoB, need you to cast an eye over my next buying decision. My husband has proven useless - keeps pointing me towards bigger models.

    Nearly 3 years with my Hyundai i30. It's been great, spacious and sufficient for my commute and shuttling the kid around. Now he's 4, I want something a touch bigger.

    Looking at the Audi Q2 and the Volvo XC40. On the face of it I thought the Audi would be my choice. I've been surprised by the Volvo though, not what I would expect from an 'old man' car.

    I'm looking at another 3-4 year horizon on this purchase. Any advice you can share, especially given that you have three young ones.

    Honestly, either one is a good pick. Audi's are a little more fun. Both very safe. Get the 2.0 liter engine, otherwise it will lack pep.

    Ooh, good tip. Why is the sales guy then trying to push the 1.4L on me (Audi)?

    Because you are a woman and will probably kill innocent people with all that power.

    Sometimes sales managers offer extra bonuses to sales folks on certain cars.

You do that with every single poster here. You do this until they see things your way. The "correct way". It's vile.
