Recently, my wife and I purchased a condo, but it only comes with one parking spot. I've been parking the FiST there and street parking our GLI, but has become a pain. My wife takes public transportation to work, so we've decided it makes sense to only have one car. My wife doesn't drive stick and refuses to learn, so looks like I'll need to be selling the FiST within the year and buying an automatic
We are also considering starting a family. So a question to all you car enthusiasts out there who also have kids, if you could only have one car to daily drive, haul kids and be safe, and still be fun to drive, what would it be? I'd prefer to not have an SUV as I never liked big cars and our parking spot is really tight. Right now I'm leaning towards...
GTI/Golf R: Might not be big enough, but good DSG which I need if I can't have a manual. I could get a roof rack with box for extra space.
Golf Alltrack: Bigger than GTI/R, but smaller engine so I'd probably want to go APR stage 1 with this.
BMW 3 wagon: Kind of expensive for what you get.
Volvo v60: Not a ton of space for being a wagon.
Jagual F-Pace: I'd need to lease this as they are new and out of our price range. Also an SUV, but I guess drives like a sedan so worth a look.
What else am I missing? It's going to be a sad day when I have to sell the FiST and need everyone's help so I don't hate my commute. We'll eventually move out to the country, so one day I'll be back in a FiST or a Miata or something fun.
Cheers!
