Grammatical mistakes

Hi

Can you help?

Please point out the grammatical mistakes in this: This is a greeting to a friend who has just bought a car.

"I am glad to hear that you have bought a car. It will be nice to see you all as a family in a car. May you have great memories in this car!"
  

Top answer

there are no grammatical errors in these sentences, but the construction is hardly intuitive. Or unusual /forced if you prefer.

Yes, the repetition of 'car' (or any noun) is a specific sign of unnatural composition.

I am glad to hear that you have bought a car. It will be nice to see you all in it as a family. May it give you great memories!"
