A Sad Day Is Coming......

[Claire G]

Obviously I'm biaised but have you thought about a GS? My IS was adequate for my first baby, but I did find the shape of the boot annoying and it meant I couldn't get in travel cot, plus suitcases, plus 100's of nappies etc. I decided to look around and the GS fitted the bill.

My nipper's 3 next year, the leather seats are a *** send (wipe up well) and with 2nd nipper due in the not too distant future, it's big enough to fit both kids comfortably and the boot fits loads in.

Just a thought. I didn't want the people carrier/estate car for probably the same reasons as you. The GS combines the style I want with the practicality!

Give the jeep a wide berth, My mother had one drove it through a ford (the wet type not the meatal type) and it took on some water anyways it killed the engine and cost over £3000 to repair some off roader that is.

Have you looked at the rav4 its a toyota and seems nice inside was in one at the weekend, and it has sat nav too or at least this one does!!

to be honest i hadn't considered the GS, i didn't even think about another type of car, so perhaps i'll check out the reviews!

Cheers Claire!!!

My brother has got a 5 door Rav4 and he has never had any problems. Plenty of room in the boot and loads of room inside. It would have to be a 5 door though - 3 doors are for hairdressers. :D

As i mentioned, i am now also considering the alternatives in a car, namely the GS, and if anyone has any ideas or experiences from that perspective it'd be a help!!

As for the Rav4, i see them as more of a toy 4x4 than an off roader!! I'd be afraid of breaking it!! :P

Subaru ? Forester is it ?

[Claire G]

The Scooby Forrester is perhaps the only estate car I'd get if I was driven to it! My hubby has a Honda Accord Aerodeck and that's not a bad drive either - plenty of poke as it's a 2.2l. Just not keen on the looks of an estate car personally

defly check out at the forester. not great to look at, but bomb proof.

RAV4 isnt bad either.

What about:-

Honda CRV

Subaru Forester

Both nice cars

[Stu]

Not keen on Hondas in general, and i've never even clapped eyes on a forrester, so can't really comment!

if you still considering outside of lexus or think GS300 cost too much, u thought about other cars bigger/more practical than the is200? like a Camry? just a thought!

[Stu]

Haven't really got that far yet, got to take some test drives and look at some stats on the cars, and then go from there.
