The Best Family Cars of 2016
October 6, 2016
This week, Consumer Reports released a list of top vehicles they recommend for families, ranging from those with young kids to teenagers, and even grandparents.
They filtered vehicles based on factors such as ease of child-seat installation, short-person access, and the ability to see out the rear windows for school-age kids. And of course all of these vehicles performed well on CR tests, have good safety ratings, and have average or better reliability.
As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
