Finding a family car can be tricky and you may worry that you will chose something that is not big enough or does not have enough safety features. You may have several factors that you need to consider and it may be that you have to sacrifice one for another when it comes to making your purchase. For example, you may want a seven seater vehicle but want it in black, it may be that you can only find a seven seater in red that is within your budget and not too far away so will have to accept that you may not be able to be completely set on what you want unless you are buying new. After carrying out some research on parents looking to purchase a family car it was obvious what the most important factors were to them.
Space/ room was often top of the list for family cars. Families with two or more children often worry about the space in the car and not only for the passengers but also for carrying items in the boot.
Safety plays and important role in a parents decision as to where to purchase a vehicle or not. Ones that are fitted with multiple air bags, has decent tyres and has a fresh MOT are often snapped up a lot quicker.
Reliability ranked high as many families live on a tight budget so do not want to have to fork out a lot of money on repairs of the vehicle.
