My wife is looking to buy a car. What do you recommend?

B I G
P R O B L E M
______________

She can not decide. For the last 3 years she owned a BMW 3 series.

Looking to spend about £17k.

First she wanted a BMW X1 (I convinced her NOT to)
Then she wanted a Mini Countryman (again I said NO, luckily she agreed)

I recommended a mini, a BMW 3 series coupe, a Mercedes C class coupe.

What do you recommend? /|\

It all depends what she wants to use it for, or should i say it all depends on what car you want for her

+1 for the Copper SD, but I'd recommend you buy her what she wants IMHO FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage

Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it

I agree with Bradders. Let her choose her own car. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Echo the comments above, choose the car YOU want and it WILL result in severe earache.
Better to go with the flow. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Most women want a soft top

Being in London she'll be happier in a small car I'd imagine?

Narrows the field somewhat

Fiat 500 ragtop
Mini convertible
Merc SLK
BMW 1 convertible
A3 convertible

All small but offer good all round safety RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
