French wife. End of discussion.
However there are some pretty cars out there - Mazda IIRC is one but it's not just the pretty that results in the final buy.
In my case the main things were:
* Can fit in it with head room for a 6'4 person in front and back
* Luggage space bigger than my focus 5 door.
* Performance at least that of the focus
* looks good from the outside/inside -- a place you want to be in.
It doesn't have to be fast but needs to be able to transport.. I left the days of bhp/tonne a long time ago as I used to race around the Nordschliefe before Clarkson started on it. With the focus it started .. a love of comfort barge that cruises
