Finding the best family car can be tricky. Tracking down that elusive family car, capable of transporting a mixture of children, elderly parents, large dogs plus bulky luggage like pushchairs, can be stressful. Which is where we come in. To find the best family car for you and your family, read our top expert tips below.
1. Safety first: • Once you find a car you like, it's important that you check up on its safety reviews and research its crash and child protection scores. If an accident does happen, you'll want to be reassured that you picked the safest model for your family. Some cars come with added safety techniques, such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB). This system is designed to detect when a car is verging on a crash and apply the brakes automatically if the driver hasn't managed to already.
2. Hatchbacks: • A hatchback is a car with a boot lid that is the entire width of the car. Hinged at the roof, the lid swings upwards to give access to the boot. Technically, the boot lid is considered a door - which is why hatchbacks are typically sold as either 'three-door' or 'five-door'. The wide-opening boot lid should make it easy to load up your shopping, luggage or the family dog. • The rear seats can almost always be folded down. Large hatchbacks will let you transport long or bulky items, such as flatpack furniture, skis or bikes. Hatchback cars come in a number of sizes. The most popular car in the UK, the Ford Fiesta, is a small hatchback. The Ford Focus is a medium-sized hatchback, and the Ford Mondeo is a large hatchback.
3. Scores on the doors: • Take a good look at the rear doors. They’re very important features if you want to fit a child seat or get your little ones strapped in when you’ve got an armful of shopping. A number of the best family cars boast rear doors which open very wide indeed – in some cases close to perpendicular to the car – to make loading easier. Bring a child seat with you when you test drive a car for the real acid test on whether it’ll meet your requirements. Ford has a clever optional feature called Door Edge Protectors, which pop out when the door opens to prevent damaging your paint or other cars when the door is pushed open a little too enthusiastically.
4. Decide on a budget: • There are 35 + manufacturers offering over 700 variants on sale in the Indian market. Naturally, it can get very confusing and difficult for a car buyer to shortlist the best cars. What you need is a budget. It is important Decide how much you are willing to spend before you go car shopping. Include in your budget how much of a down payment you will make, and what you can afford in a car payment each month. Cheshire motor car sales are offering best car finance deals in Ashton.
