As a big family, you want to cut costs wherever you can. Buying a car big enough for all your family members is a huge expense. Car finance is not only a great option, but will also help car expenses fit nicely into your weekly family budget.

An even better way to increase your savings is by investing in a quality used car, rather than driving a brand new one straight out of the dealership only for it to immediately depreciate. A used car is not only less costly, but you also get to avoid the hefty GST, stamp duty, and number plate fees that come with a brand-spanking new car. Here are some top picks for cars for big families and small budgets;

 

Toyota LandcruiserToyota Landcruiser - Before the retro style was reintroduced, the Landcruiser was the perfect car that seated the whole family and then some. With the reliable Toyota brand in its name, this 4WD is the perfect car for the family to take road trips in and popping open the boot made the perfect substitute as a chair at those Saturday morning kids sports.

It’s got plenty of storage space and unlike most family cars it has 8 seats. A great car to upgrade to once you hit over 3 kids and the clearance makes it easy to see what’s going on around you, but still easy to get into parking stations.

 

 

Holden CaptivaHolden Captiva - The Captiva seats the whole family but has the body of a city car, making parking easier. Inside, the Captiva has three rows of easily adjustable seating as a seven seater, allowing for a cabin to be choc-a-block full of gear and luggage.

 

 

 

 

 

Hyundai Santa FeHyundai Santa Fe - The Hyundai Santa Fe all-wheel drive can carry 6 passengers plus the driver with additional space in the cabin. Storage is a great feature of this car with a middle row arm rest and the seat pockets provide storage space for the kids colouring books on long driving holidays.

 

 

 

Subaru Forester Subaru Forester - Subarus have always been a guarantee to get you  from A to B comfortably and reliably. Many a Sunday family drive  would have taken place in a Subaru Forester. No matter how much  the kids fight in the back seat, it will always be drowned out by a  quality sound system. The back cabin has a never ending supply of  room that you can pop the kids bikes into with space left over.
