Think this would be top of my list if I needed a practical car.. happily I don't need one indecision

If you needed a practical car, you would probably go with a SUV. Smiley 

Kids, wife with shoe addiction...no way around a SUV. Smiley

The most practical car is actually my Mini JCW right now: I use it as a daily driver, I can do some shopping with it, it is pretty fast if I want to (did 260 kph on the speedo last Wednesday on our way to Munich), it is rocksolid under most road and weather conditions, it doesn't eat much fuel (10 l/100km on the Autobahn full throttle, 9 l on average city and under 7 l if I use the "green" mode), kids feel comfortable in the back (even for longer drives), so...quite OK for the size and what it costs. The emotional part is almost zero for me though but I am spoiled. Smiley
