    Only thing I would say if you are thinking about starting a family is that you have to be careful as to whether or not buggies fit in the boot. A guy I work with has just had a baby (well his wife has!) and he has a 2005 VW Golf. Apparently the buggy only just fits!

    HTH

    It must be the biggest buggy known to mankind then !

    Depends on how they collapse. If it's a telescopic one then they tend to take up less room. If it's a Graco they tent to fold flat onto all 4 wheels so can take up a lot of room in the boot.

    You just turn it on end then. ;):)

    The only thing i can think is that they didn't remove the parcel shelf. :confused:

    Nissan Note is a neat car, little bit pricey though.
