At present she has a Peugeot 208 GTI, which I really like as it's a fun car.

208 bhp in a lightweight manual car.

I was hoping to get her in to a Golf GTI or an Audi A3.

But no, to prove she has no taste (she married me), she has booked a test drive for the new year (when weather is decent.

What has she booked?

A bloody Civic Type R.

It bloody horrible, total Transformers / Manga car.

Unfortunately she has seen one, read reviews in Evo etc.

Bloody women.

I am now living in the dog house for suggesting it was a bad idea..


Historically I am the one getting hassle for my choice of car

Have any other members ended in strife over choice of car?

I've learnt a very expensive lesson in the last three years. I no longer get involved in the Wife's car. Well only from a maintenance standpoint.

In the past I've made suggestions as to what I think she might like to drive. I even bought mine a Mini JCW in January. Only to find out she hated it.

So £1000.s of later I've given up. As long as it's not a real shitter. I have no opinion from a style point of view.
