Prices don't bite: the best used cars for the family
With the advent of a family, a small, lively car can no longer be the best choice. Shopping, traveling with children - all this puts new demands on the car.
But how not to make a mistake when choosing a family car? What Car experts have compiled a dozen models that can be safely purchased used - they won't hit the family budget and will meet all the requirements for comfort and safety.
Skoda Octavia
The price of a used Octavia is more favorable than its direct competitors, the VW Golf and Audi A3, while it is more spacious than the Seat Leon. What can be frustrating is the rather old-fashioned interior design. But the added space and trunk volume make up for it.
Seat Leon
Yes, the previous-generation Leon is a bit behind the Golf in terms of interior quality, but it still outperforms most of the other competitors on this list. What's more, the Leon offers the same great engine choices as its VW rival. And the price is usually more pleasant.
Audi A3
The Audi A3 is one of the best family cars out there. It boasts a beautifully designed and built interior, a decent amount of equipment, and a sophisticated style. It's also comfortable, practical, great to drive, and every engine in the lineup delights with consistent quality.
Skoda Scala
The Scala may not boast the top interior and the most space, but it is affordable, practical, and extremely enjoyable to drive. It is one of the newest family cars on this list that can be purchased used. The model first entered the market in 2019.
Volkswagen Golf
The price tag for the seventh-generation VW Golf is a bit more expensive than its competitors. Instead, it offers such advantages as a stylish and spacious interior, absolute road manners, comfortable driving, and impressive safety standards.
Ford Focus
If you want to give your family a sense of security, choose the Focus because its handling is superior to its class rivals. It is attractive in appearance, fast, maneuverable and dynamic - just right for family drivers who still want a sense of drive from the road. At the same time, the model is very economical and the cost of its operation is quite moderate.
BMW 1 Series
Sophisticated design inside and out - that's what the BMW 1 Series offers customers. However, it comes at a price in terms of interior space. It's also not the cheapest model, particularly in terms of maintenance. But it has powerful engines, interesting handling, and a fantastic infotainment system. It also has legendary German reliability.
Honda Civic
Easy to drive, good fuel economy, and a large trunk make the Civic a good value, affordable, and powerful family car. The outdated infotainment system and mediocre design can be a bit disappointing. But it's still great quality for a reasonable price.
Hyundai i30
The manufacturer offers a five-year unlimited mileage warranty for this model, which means you can buy a still protected used car. The i30 also offers a spacious and reliable interior, a pleasant driving experience, and good equipment even as standard.
Opel Astra
The most attractive feature of a used Astra is its price. It's not just cheap, it's a great car with precise handling, a comfortable ride, and several powerful engines in the lineup. Yes, it does not impress with its cutting-edge design, but it still pleases with its reliability and solid build quality.
