I currently drive a 57 plate X5 7-seater, which we have had since new, and my husband drives and old but very well maintained 5 Series. He has been waiting to be able to afford a smart sporty something. In the meantime I have started to feel that I would like something smaller and my husband has said that as long as it is something he would be okay driving on the occasions when I would want the X5, he would be happy to have the X5 instead of his 'sporty something'. I have two children to consider, although they are now both out of pushchairs (currently 7 and 3) so boot space is not of huge importance. I mentioned a MINI, but my husband said no, he wouldn't like to drive a MINI. A friend has a C2 that she loves and says I should look at but I really value your opinion and would like to hear what you would suggest please. I would like the car to be funky, not staid and boring if possible and I would love to have parking sensors if possible as I've had them on this and the previous X5 so have rather got use to them.
