No. No. No. This is coming from someone who loves, and owns, Italian cars.

it cant hold anything beyond the people - musical instruments for example, also it is a terrible machine

OK cheap...but it is a flex. It is not weird. Also their suspensions are made out of paper. Expensive to maintain.

interesting choices, but they are nothing more than that. All fail to tick the boxes.

Cruze is too small for an instrument-oriented family.

No, I wouldn’t. That is why you can get most of the needs without being utterly stupid. Saab.

They will, they are quite roomy. If not, a 9-5 wagon is much bigger and certainly could take all their stuff.

errr nope. The old wagon will get gal/mile fuel economy, and the older one will just kill them in a stiff breeze.

Damn Kinja doesnt post any replies...then post them all. FFS.

I swear some of us are posting weird cars just to be weird and unique. You honestly suggest either of those as a daily for a modern day dad of twins!?

excellent choice, Saab is great for a family - I personally would go for a 9-5 Aero Sportcombi with a manual. Stupid fast and safe.

those are nice and quirky, but that is ALL they have going for them

upvoted for the Saab recommendation. The Mazda? Not enough doors for twins.

He has twins. Juke is tiny for a family. None of those compact hatchbacks are suitable for that. They are useless.

Saab 9-5 Aero Sportcombi. Fast, quirky, reliable, and safe.

I see many Jalops also have the sense, unlike the editors! A Saab is a fantastic choice.

Saab 9-5 Aero Sportcombi. Fantastic family car that is fast, quirky, reliable, can be had with a manual, and most of all....safe. So it checks all the boxes. Also, they are super cheap right now so you could buy 2 and have one for spares.

I love this idea. I mentioned the 9-5 Aero. Both are fantastic choices for what this dad needs. Especially safety - which none of the Jalop suggestions are!

Wow all the Jalop suggestions are terrible.

No. Never. CP.
