Family Cars

AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of family cars on the market. All used family cars on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover and a free car history check.

A family car offers plenty of space, is usually very good economy and has plenty of room for luggage, ideal for a weekend trip to the seaside or the school run.

Why buy a family car?

They may not be the fastest or most exciting cars on the road, but this is one of the most competitive car sectors around with a huge range of family-friendly models available. They are great for everything from the school run, the regular commute to work, or just packing up for a few days away.
Though quite an all-encompassing term, a 'family car' best references a mid-size hatchback, models like the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. With most mainstream manufacturers competing in this segment, there are plenty of options to choose from, and most are terrific all-rounders combining space, style, value and general everyday usability.
Which family car should I buy?

The family car class is a particularly competitive one, with all of the big-volume players competing here. From more run-of-the-mill options like a Kia Ceed and Hyundai i30 through to premium choices like the Audi A3 and Mercedes A-Class, there's no shortage of variety.
There's a big variation depending on what you're looking for, though. If comfort is a priority, for example, the Citroen C4 is a great option, while if spaciousness is a priority, it’s hard to better the Skoda Octavia.
What should I look for when buying family cars?

Before buying a family car, you should check if it's fit for purpose. If you have three children, fitting them in the rear seats will be quite the challenge, so it might be preferable to look at a larger MPV or SUV. Though most car seats and vehicles themselves universally use Isofix child fittings, it's worth making sure you can fit any child seats before proceeding.
In terms of viewing the car itself, it's worth having a look for any signs of damage where children might have been, such as broken or loose trim in the rear seats.
How spacious are family cars?

All family cars competing in this area fare well when it comes to spaciousness, providing you’re realistic with your expectations. Many of these models are relatively small in terms of dimensions and are not seven-seaters, but offer plenty of room for those with one or two children.There's quite a difference between the best and worst choices, though, in terms of roominess, while some prioritise boot space over the amount of room on offer, so it's worth buying a car to suit your needs.
How safe are family cars?

There's a clue in the name for family cars at who they're designed for, so unsurprisingly many manufacturers make safety a priority when making these models. Typically family cars are among some of the safest cars on the road, particularly when it comes to adult and child occupant protection, while many of the latest cars come with a whole range of driver assistance technology to enhance safety. It's worth having a look at how Euro NCAP rated a particular car for safety, though be mindful that the latest ratings are subject to tougher levels of testing than those done a few years. For instance, an older car might have a five-star rating, but the testing for current models will be more stringent.
