What is the best family car?

[MLyons]

The best all round family car is likely to be the one that suits your own family , making it jolly hard to choose.

Historically family cars were often Estates, but then People carriers came on, and now SUV's have taken a large portion of that market.

For me, negative news aside, the Zafira was the best all rounder.

What would you look for when deciding what is the best for each family?

Ford Galaxy without doubt, it's essentially like a small van so all family members are very comfortable, and the newer models, despite their large size have a nice torque on em, doesn't feel like a hefty family car when you're in it!

I recommend RANGE ROVER 2018, it's my choice though. Beautifully appointed inside for luxurious comfort
An iconic silhouette that’s unmistakable. 35.4 inches wading depth. Optional Long Wheelbase
Height: 73.3 inches; Length: 196.8 inches; Width: 86.6 inches. So it is very big enough for the family. That's my opinion though.

Anything but a Qashqai - piece of junk! Loving the Leon estate we replaced it with (£20 a year road tax vs £270 - 60+ MPG vs ~30MPG) but to be honest a golf or Octavia estate is practically the same car if you want an alternative...

Going to recommend Hyundai i30/Kia Ceed if you want cheap and practical A to B - my 60 plate i20 (dealer ex-demo) just keeps running with nothing but servicing, battery, tires and brakes in 8 years/70000 miles. I thrash the living daylights out of it daily too (6000 rpm as I have the auto and it loves dropping a gear). It may exceed the motorway speed daily too... Its survived 2 cars of the wifes (Qashqai+2 and Astra). Astra was a steaming pile too - just not as bad as the Qashqai...

Probably a bit late, but my choice of family car would be a Honda Civic >2012.
