Buying a new car is quite exciting. It's definitely one of life's greatest joys.  The browsing, doing test drives, and finding the one car just for you. And, when you finally get your new car home, it feels really good.

Hubby has a company car, but when it comes to my car, it's the family car. A 7 seater, which is essential to fit all 6 of us in.

I've only ever owned Nissan's (following in my dad's footsteps), current car is a Nissan QashQai+2, perfect for our large family, it's not to big and has a great safety record. I've owned it for 4-years now, and I want a change. I've got my eye on a Audi Q7. This is a bigger car in size, but it also has the 7 seats we need, and most importantly it has a great safety record - and I bet your bottom dollar, hubby won't moan about it 'being a boring car to drive'.

Hubby likes a car that has a bit of omph like he does with his company car, but mine the family car, doesn't have that omph and so it's not his favourite car to drive (apparently it's boring) - but that doesn't matter as safety comes first.  So, as it being the family car, we opt for more safer options in the car and don't mind it being a bit boring - but we can have both of best worlds, a non boring car and one that offers the safety I seek, the Audi Q7.
