    Really good point, but aren't the cars on my list ok in that aspect? I mean if I take the run flats of a BMW it should be pretty smooth..

      What about the Nissan Juke? I think they are great looking things. They look fun but are very practical? Plenty around so will get some good car for your cash?

        I haven't heard anything good about BMW run flats. And it won't...

        Get a Honda Civic. They are very funky.

              They are great and go like the clappers. Tons of room in them. The seats are quick fold, the glove compartment ends somewhere near the front bump, ton's of room in the boot... and funky as well.

              If you are trying to mix sports and family you are going to have spend a very long term looking and get two halves of f**k all.

                I had one as a loaner when mine was in the garage. They are awful, don't have a lot of space in them, zero rear visibility and a horrid CVT transmission.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Your a dad of two now. Forget the flash cars. Get a family car and a wardrobe full of Paul Smith shirts and jackets instead.

                      Oh, one of them that doesn't sit in any particular bracket? Like the Evoque. Didn't realise that. Will
