ok just had a baby 3 weeks ago

i have 3 daughters already and getting them in the zed is difficult

so i advertised it but drove it down to paignton about 150 mmiles and had the most fun just toying with other cars !!

can anyone suggest something quick but slightly more practical or am i just kidding myself ?????

Subaru, Evo or Integra.... nice quick and Jap :) (and family proof)

 

Congrats on the baby :)x

a nice STi subaru, quicker than a 300 and the missus will love it too kids in the back loads of gear in the boot, sorted :p

audi s4

2 adults , 4 kids - you need a 7 seater !? and there'nt any "performance" orientated fun to come from them.

 

Keep the zed as a toy and get a 7 seater family car ?

dave u could be right and that 2.1 pug diesel u have is quite nice as for sti subaru they are quick but the damn insurance is mental!!

You could sell the kids. 2 year olds for instance, still fetch £10K+ :rofl:

Reckon they would in China right now....................... :slap:

 

Richard :rofl: ;)

Seriously though......

 

......buy a reasonbly priced small MPV - say a Scenic or Zafira (or perhaps a Volvo T5 estate - nice and fast too) and keep the ZX as a fun car. Insure it on a classic policy for under £250 f/c and use it as a weekend toy.

 

Richard :cool:

To name a few.

Nissan Skyline 2Dr or 4Dr.

Lexus GS300 / 400

Nissan Stagea (sometimes referred to as the Skyline estate)

Various Scoobies

Mitsu Lancer / Evo.

Mitsu galant

Transit mini bus (LOL)

Grand Cherokee

Grand voyager

BMW M3 or M5

 

My particular choice for a proper family car would be the Stagea. Lovely looking car. 2.5 N/A or Turbo. 250 odd BHP.

Nissan Stagea - never heard of them but its a funky looking thing isnt it

even better....................

 

IMO. :D

IMHO, the nicest high powered Jap Estate car is the Legnum VR4 (same as Gallant estate).

 

If I had kids, heaven forbid, I'd probably look at something like this.

You can pick a very nice one up for about 5K. Not bad for the calibre you are getting?

I am looking at buying one eventually and giving my N/A Skyline to the boy. Now he's 21. Still gonna cost him a fortune to insure though. But that will become he's problem :D

Not my cup of tea at all, looks very simular to a Volvo T5
