    I don't know if you could really call it a family car, but it's technically mine We have a Evolution X MR Bathurst Edition. Great bit of kit. Seats 4 nicely & enough boot room to carry a pram & do the shopping... But probably not both at the same time

    Someone suggested the Pug 307? We have one of those too (not a wagon though) and its caused nothing but problems. Looks wrong to be driving it if your not a 50 year old lady, is slow as **** but uses as much fuel as my little vr6 and understeers like nothing else I've driven. Thousands have already been spent on repairs for it, and its burning oil now amongst other problems which is not good at all. Been telling the parents to get rid of that one while they can for a while

    Screw you both! We had a 1997 and the 3 ton doors where not electric! It was going to be my car but dad sold it and bought the Bora which subsequently became mine, oh and it started my obsession.

    Yeah, they're a sad car - nothing at all like my older 306 was. Well, the 306 also needed thousands spent on it to keep it running but at least it looked pretty decent and was a fun drive (best handling FWD I've ever driven along with the MkI Ford Focus)

    You want sad???

    Try my mums Daewoo Nubira that went back to the dealership 17 (SEVENTEEN!!!) times in 3 years!!!

    Oh, then the clincher.

    I was "gifted" this abomination.

    A couple of years later, with the subsequent mocking by mates, I had actually developed some perverse attraction to the car. It was plucky as. I tried, yet couldn't kill it. Took it on many dirt roads with the back constantly getting sideways (wagon weight ) and developed good understeer in the wet control. Because it was so simple I knew exactly what it would do and when.
    I miss it's practicality but not it's lousy performance lol.

    Mums now got a Mazda2 and the old man gets around in a Subaru Outback.

    We had an old one without the doors when I was younger too but I can't really remember it well. Still we moved out of that one after many years into a new luxury one so the parents must have liked it :p

    I'd easily buy a new one when I have a family, too bad the Routan isn't coming to Australia.
