That's true, but we want to have another baby soon

To be fair, i don't really need to upgrade my car yet... i just want to, any excuse.
I always found that putting a baby/toddler in a car was very slightly easier in a 3 door than a 5 door.
In a 3 door you can put the seat forward and get in the car and place them straight into the car seat. In a 5 door you have to put them in at an angle.0 -

Far easier solution - sunroof and just drop them in, job done!0 -
Credit score issues from myself, i have a 4 year old default which as destroyed my credit rating. Ive been advised to just wait until early 2019 when it will finally drop? unless you have some advice for me.
If that's the problem then spending money unnecessarily is even more of a bad idea. You never know what might happen and what money you may need so keeping what you have already seems to be the most sensible optionRemember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
I have nearly enough money saved for the house purchase and I/we put away £1250 - £1500 each month. I will out save the £4000 loss from my car? In 2 years I would have put away another £28 -£36K if it all goes to plan.
I only came looking for advice buying a car 🚗 😂
What cars do you lot drive. I assume cheap run arounds

Here he comes.
Me, I drive an M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6, a Lexus IS250SE-L, a Honda Accord, an Audi A3, and a Yaris.
Oh, and a Nissan GTR too.
And a few others I've forgotten.0 -

I would also add that in a 3 door its nearly impossible for a child to get his fingers caught in the door when its being shut.
Unless you slam it on their fingers whilst resting against the car after they have got out )-:0 -
