Let me start by saying "I am not a car man", for pleasure i ride my motorbikes, for work, i drive my van, for family stuff, i drive the family car.
I know nothing much about cars.
The wife chose for the family car, a Golf Gti. Now it is 3yr old i am looking to change it.
Based on a practical point of view, ie economics and another child on the way (to make 2 in all), i am lookin at a large saloon car.
Does anybody know anything about these?

From what i can see is this, i can sell the golf and only put in another £1000 max for a brand new, well specified car.
Or i can listen to the wife and spend £20000 on the new golf gti.
As i said i know very little, and have very little interest in cars.

Are these Kia cars any good?
Should i leave her to it?
Can anybody recommend any other type of car?
I quite like the Peugeot 407 Estate, are these any good?

Any help please.

cheers
