I currently have a Touareg as the main family car so don't need a transporter, and actually its the bain of my life...
If a friend asks you to give them a hand taking a fridge to the tip then you are obliged to do it...but who the heck wants to be put in that position.
I know I am miserable and don't deserve friends, but at weekends I want to sit on my couch and watch the football scores come in, I don't want to be lugging a bloody fridge down the tip.

Quite right, BGG. Hence my recommendation for a Hummer. Also handy for dropping the kids off at school in a war zone.Originally posted by Board Game GeekTry doing the above in a 2 seater Tuscan...

Said it before and I'll say it again,
Ford Focus Estate 2.0 Ghia.
Plenty of room for the shopping. Also handy when friends call you up a few times each month and ask if you can drop something off down the dump or pickup a fridge/telly from the local Comet, as their car is too small.
Sensible and pratical.

There's nothing wrong with Nissan.
How does I drive a Seat (Spanish Skoda) sound any better?
If you want badge snobbery, stick to the Merc.

Audi S3, bought mine 18months ago for £14k on an 02 plate, checking out Autotrader I recon I could get £13k easy for it still, so only 1k in depreciation
Its the old shape model but still seems to be in demand

Bandit does the job for me, commuting from Kent into London every day. The fecking scooter riders in London are a nightmare though.Old style VFR is good enough for me.
110 miles a day and love it.
And to all the cars.
