What car please?
Discussion
Advice please!
I’m looking to buy a car, however I’m struggling to figure out what car to meet my needs and wants. I would like something fun, a bit cool, fast, suitable for general school drop offs (one child) but also road trips across the Highlands and the Alps, maybe with two bikes on the back. My dilemma is…will one car meet all these needs? Recently hired an old MX-5 on a road trip and was a lot of fun, but not suitable for general day to day.
Thoughts/recommendations please?

Thank you for the suggestions. I’m a female driver, so don’t fancy an estate plus don’t need anything that big. To give you an idea of what I like, ideal car garage would be a LR Defender (original), Porsche 911 and pottering at the weekend in an AH Frogeye Sprite or even a Caterham! But until I win the lottery…
I was considering the new Mini Cooper (poss convertible) as it ticks the fun, quick, bikes on the tow bar, yet I keep seeing the more mature lady driving them and can’t figure out whether its a good driving car.
I loved the MX-5 experience in the Highlands and recently test drove a Caterham Seven.
Budget: main car I’m thinking of doing a lease as I like the peace of mind it’s not going to break down on me/warranties etc so can spend up to £350 PM. So I guess that will get me a car around £30k roughly. So do I get one car that ticks most boxes for now? Save for something fun in the future, or get a used car as main car and something fun on the side?
