- Extra safety perks and lurks - airbags and all that.
- Bright colour. Strange to start off with that but at the moment we have a yellow car and we want a bright colour again. Red or blue or green or yellow or orange would be fine. Not white, or blah blue, or grey, or black.
- 5 seater.
- 5 door - we have a 3 door at the moment (so 2 side doors and a boot) but as Sally is getting bigger I'm struggling to get her into her seat.
- Sports wagon type of car. Something that we can put bikes racks on the top of and go away in as well as park easily.
- Manual. It was heartbreaking for me when we had to change from our manual car to an automatic a few years ago, because of my left shoulder not being able to drive one anymore at the time. It'll be strange to have one again and a bit of a learning curve but we both want one!

it might just be that i'm looking in the wrong place ... but i can't find a comments link on your posts after this one
