As a 9
year old, I always wanted my parents to get the fastest car out there. That
Mustang or Camaro. When we decided to go buy a new “family” car, they
mistakenly took me and I wouldn’t stop running around looking at everything “fast”
and putting my two cents in.
Then my mom told me something very
important, “There is more to life than just a fast car, I have you.” Which is why I’m going to say it, mini-vans
are alright.
Not just minivans, but all family cars. Here is a list of the top selling family sedans that you should be interested in when considering your families safety and overall car value. Here are Low, Mid, and High priced family sedans that are safe and easy on the eyes.
1)
Volkswagen
Passat
– This large family car has a NHTSA safety rating of 4 out of 5. The 5-cylinder
version will get 32 hwy, 21 city. The 6-cylinder sport engine gets 28hwy, 20
city. It also has an alternative diesel style engine, 4 cylinder 31 city, 43
hwy. With plenty of cargo room (15.9 cu
ft.) for all the soccer cleats you need, this is a family car with plenty of
options, and if you’re in a rush it can get you there. Base
price: $19,995
2)
Acura TSX – This is the
sporty and stylish family car. It can
come in either an inline 4 or 6-cylinder, which is a beefed up to 280hp. Base price: $29,610. A 5/5 safety
rating. However, you are paying 10k more for a family car with 14 cu ft. of
cargo room. This is less than the Passat.
3)
Saab 9-5 Aero – With a 5 star
safety rating, and the most cargo room of the cars mentioned (18.2 cu ft.). This
amazingly gorgeous car has bold styles, great lines, but comes with a hefty
price tag. Base price: $49,565 and
comes with a powerful 300hp turbocharged V-6 engine that gets 27hwy/17city mpg.
With AWD (all-wheel drive) option on the V-6 model this car will get up and go
for you. The 4 cylinder turbo only gets 28hwy/18 city.

the cars I mentioned above, and also any new or used cars that you want to
review.
