    Same still applies, need to ask them for something more appropriate for your circumstances.

    In a different post she says the old Zafira wasn't spotless as she has 2 kids.

    So I'm going with 2 kids and a third (possibly a fourth too!) on the way.

    A 3 door car really isn't appropriate here. If it were a 4 or 5 door Astra then that would have been annoying but bearable I guess.


    I assume you're being sarcastic with the "Vauxhall = similar vehicle" bit. By that logic it would be fine to give her a VX220 to ferry the kids around in. A similar vehicle would be an (ugh) Renault Scenic or something.
