What Is the Right Family Car For You?

How do you choose a few of the right vehicles, and especially the one right vehicle, in a category that has approximately 250 to select from? What you can do is allow expert advice to guide you, but before you do that you need to look at what your needs are for your family. Do you need a three row SUV or a midsized sedan? How many people does your car need to accommodate? What features do you want your car to offer for your driving enjoyment? Once you have these questions answered you can check out this list and see if there are a few that meet the needs of your lifestyle.

Sedans

The sedan category is one of the most typical for families to choose a car that will be great for their driving needs. These cars are used to being made to haul the groceries, take kids to school and even be used as the daily commuter vehicle. For years these cars didn’t look like much, but they have developed into more stylish version of what they used to be and now offer a wide array of great features for you to enjoy. The top sedans for 2016 are the Honda Civic, Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Honda Accord and Chevrolet Impala. If this is the class for you, check out all of these to determine which one is right for you.

2-Row SUVs

When you need more space than a sedan but still can manage in two rows this is where you shop. These SUVS put you in a higher riding position and some offer cool off road capabilities to go along with the added space inside the cabin. This is the perfect place for you to shop for a vehicle that has more versatility than a sedan but still drives a lot like one. The 2016 favorites in this category are the Honda HR-V, Honda CR-V and Subaru Outback. While there are only three favorites you can find the one that is right for your driving needs in one of them.

3-Row SUVs

Do you have a larger family and need more space? Will added cargo space make a difference in your life? These SUVs are all about the room on the inside and give you plenty of it in a way that makes it easy to bring a project home for the weekend or carry everyone and their gear out to the lake. For this category the favorites for 2016 are the Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Tahoe. With big size and a great ride these four will be the horsemen and can bring what your family needs wherever you need to go.

Minivans

We can’t have a discussion about family vehicles without including the minivans. As the favorite family hauler from many years ago the minivans still have a place on this list. Some of these models give you features and a driving enjoyment you can’t find in any of the other three categories. With a drive that is smooth and comfortable minivans are made to carry the family while providing some entertainment. The favorites for 2016 are the Kia Sedona, Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey. When a minivan makes the most sense for you, these three are the right choice for you to have the vehicle your family will enjoy for years to come.

Which category does your family need to shop in? That is certainly a decision for you to make with price, fit, function and fuel efficiency being some of the different considerations you need to make to find the perfect family vehicle for you.
