What Qualities Should I Look for in a Family Vehicle?

Shopping for a vehicle that suits your needs and family's lifestyle is an exciting process. It can also quickly become overwhelming, with multiple considerations to make for your own concerns and so many fantastic vehicles available on the market. Visit a Subaru dealership in Toronto to discuss your requirements with our staff and see what new or pre-owned vehicles we have to suit your lifestyle.

Vehicle Checklist for Your Family Vehicle

Not ready to start looking in person at vehicle showrooms? Take a look at this handy checklist of vehicle qualities that can help you narrow down and guide your vehicle search.

  • Safety: Protecting your loved ones with a vehicle that has strong safety ratings and additional features is unsurprisingly, a top concern for parents on the market for a family car. Consider the Subaru Outback that boasts impressive 5-star safety credentials.
  • Budget: Supporting a family and raising kids isn't easy. Your vehicle is a big investment but you still need it to fit realistically into your overall budget and financial plan for the next few years. Marino's Fine Cars West has a huge variety of makes and models. You are sure to find the perfect vehicle at the right price point from our large inventory of brand new and pre-owned cars.
  • Space: Whether you have a small family or a big tribe, you need enough space to comfortably get around. Consider your regular routines and unique activities that your vehicle needs to be able to accommodate. From the number of seats to cargo space, finding a vehicle that can fit everyone and everything is important to fully enjoy and utilize your new car.
  • Entertainment: If you haven't shopped for a new vehicle in a few years, you are sure to be pleasantly surprised by the amount of exciting entertainment options. Stay connected, get assistance with navigation, and enjoy your favourite music in your family car. From straightforward syncing with your smartphone and other digital devices, to built-in entertainment systems to keep the kids occupied on long drives, there are great features available for your new vehicle.
  • Features: Whether your family has a few avid cyclists or you find yourself taking a lot of drowsy late-night drives, there are optional features available to customize your new car. New technology can enhance your safe driving skills on the road and assist with parking, while interior and exterior accessories can ensure your vehicle is ready to take you and you gear on your next family adventure. Need to pack the whole family's ski or hockey gear in? No problem! Making that trip to the beach? Pack in your beach umbrella, lots of food, folding chairs, towels, toys and everything you need without compromising passenger or driver comfort and safety.

In addition to focusing on your own family's needs, public votes and rating systems can also be useful for getting a second opinion. Keep the Subaru Outback in mind, as it was voted one of the best family cars currently available. Take it for a test drive at Marino's Fine Cars West or give us to call to find out how the Outback or another vehicle can work for your family. Check out our current specials and browse through our vehicle inventory to see what we have to offer.
