Yep a Volvo estate is much safer bet
Probably an auto but the estate idea might be getting ditched anyway as she has realised just how much extra choice she will have.
Avoid one of them twin clutch jobbies, unless you have a long warranty with it. And anything with a cvt.
Go and sit in one of the fancier German ones and see what she likes best. Or buy a new Kia and enjoy the warranty.
If she really wants summat fancy I may be selling a 61 plate Hyundai Santa Fe soon. Lovely it is. Suit her it would. Just want back what I paid for it.
I betcha not all of them come with a free apostrophe though

So we ended up buying this today. A 2019 X1 sDrive 18d SE Auto. Low miles, one owner, drives really nicely.
