This is the top 10 of the best family cars 2013
A family car needs a lot of talent. It has to be sturdy, the crumbs of the little ones have to be easy to remove. You need space for the children, the stroller, possibly a dog and when you go on a trip, the little ones not only need space in the second row, no, they are also happy about rear-seat entertainment offers. Or at least they want to be able to look out the window so that the old “I see what you can't see” game remains entertaining until it reaches its destination. In short, a perfect family car doesn't just have to make dad happy behind the wheel, keyword driving pleasure. Mom likes (keyword optics and design) and gives the children the freedom not to fall into boredom on the long journey (keyword space). At the same time, the best family car has to be cheap to buy. Taxes and insurance shouldn't get too much for the family. There is a lot to consider and more wishes that have to be fulfilled.
2013 I drove many test cars, the top 10 family cars I have summarized in this article.
The order of entries is not a rating. All 10 mentioned vehicles are great family cars.
[One_third]Nissan Note
The Nissan Note is the expert for the city. A towering mini-van with surprisingly plenty of space in the second row. In addition, it offers a lot of security in the form of modern assistance systems. The note is clearly one of the 10 best family cars 2013.

Toyota RAV4
The RAV4 has established the class of compact SUVs just over 20 years ago. In the current generation, the RAV4 offers above all an increased space. Space and engine offerings have grown and the qualities of the Japanese do not stop at the best forest path.

[/one_third][one_third last=last]Ford Kuga
The compact SUV from Cologne convinces with a large range of engines and assistance systems and the idea of “always on” is lived out in the chic Kuga. In the driving report, the 140 hp diesel had to prove itself together with the dual clutch transmission.

[/ One_third] [one_third]Peugeot 308
The new lion in the compact segment. Personally, the surprise of the year. Never before has a compact from Peugeot been so close to the Wolfsburg front runner. Who only went golf so far, for good reason, should take a look at the compact lion. A test drive could bring interesting findings.

[/ One_third] [one_third]Toyota Auris Touring Sport
A compact estate with hybrid drive. Toyota's hybrid experts are responsible for the only hybrid in my top 10 of the best family cars. It was also time. The Auris is a combination (sports tourer) extremely well done and thanks to hybrid drive, an alternative to the classic diesel engine in this class.

[/one_third][one_third last=last]Citroën Picasso C4
Like the Peugeot 308, the new C4 Picasso is also based on a completely new platform of the PSA Group. And in the case of the C4 Picasso, this new platform was immediately convincing. Meanwhile, the C4 Picasso offers more interior space in its mini-van variant. Typical details of the operation remain French, which is somehow nice in the case of the C4 Picasso.

[/ One_third] [one_third]Ford Turneo Connect
The new Tourneo is based on the Ford Focus. A mini-van with maximum space. In two wheelbase versions and with two sliding doors, the Ford is one thing above all: so practical. And with the 1.0l EcoBoost three-cylinder even a frugal family van

Alfa Romeo Giulietta
It is the Italian alternative to the VW Golf. The “beauty” from Alfa impresses with its driving dynamics and magical design. In the package of the 10 best family cars, the Giulietta takes on the role of subtle beauty. With compromises in terms of room comfort. But as long as the children are small;).

Fiat 500 L Trekking
A surprise from Italy. The Fiat 500 L only has the look at the front in common with the cuddly 500, otherwise it shares the platform with the larger Fiat Punto. When trekking, the 500 L was given the look of a rough leg, but remains entirely the friendly Italian.

[/ One_third] [one_third]Mitsubishi ASX
Clearly my top favorite in the class of compact SUVs. But as a family car a very hot tip. Recently, the ASX is also available with the 2.2 liter 150 PS and the six-speed automatic transmission. This will make dad behind the wheel really happy!

[/ one_third]The Top 10 of family cars will be continued in 2014. But of course there will also be a top ten list of the best sports cars under € 35.000, the sportiest convertibles and other vehicle classes. At the beginning of next year, I'll take a look at the top 10 in the 4 × 4 class.
Within the list there is no own rating, the vehicles have all landed under the top 10 of the category concerned. The differences, the advantages and disadvantages of the individual vehicles are then quickly interchangeable in the subjective view of the prospective buyers. So this list is above all one thing: an aid to orientation.
Explanation of the stars: The more stars, the better. Five stars at Mama mean: Mama finds it especially good. 5 star with dad, Papa finds it particularly good. Mama stands for the design, dad for the driving pleasure, the children for the practical use and the price, of course that stands for the relationship between price and performance!
