Ten Best Cars For Families (Visit this link)
Walk into a dealership and ask to see the new-generation family car, and you might receive a puzzled look. That's because today's family cars are no longer one-size-fits-all. We looked for the best family cars in 10 market segments to find affordable vehicles designed to suit a variety of needs. All cars considered had a base MSRP of $18,000 to $30,000, and had to have standard or available electronic stability control; side curtain airbags for additional protection in a collision; seats that fold down to add cargo space when needed; and tilt-adjustable and telescopic steering to accommodate drivers of all sizes. We used Consumer Reports' Rear Access rating to measure ease of entry and exit, as well as the Driver Position rating to measure comfort and visibility for all drivers. The ratings range from "excellent" to "poor"; all of our vehicles had to at least earn "good" in both categories. So which car is the best for a family? It all depends on the family. Even within the crossover segment there are different shapes and sizes of vehicles. The Ford Edge does not have a third row of seats, but the Saturn Outlook does. The second-row seat cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward for easy third-row access.
