Default Mrs sold her porsche to get a "family car"

So the mrs decided to sell the Porsche, we had not owned it that long but we got about 15 MPG and due to it being a Cayenne there was no real reward for that running cost.

Anyway she told me she had found a nice family car.... She went to collect it last night.
This is the nice family car....

I'm finding this hard to believe: it shows a woman with common sense where cars are concerned

I can't believe you let her buy and sell cars without getting involved!

You might get better than 15mpg out of this

Good choice, although my wife disagrees with these being family cars
