Best family car

[samsamdinh1]

carsales Car of the Year Best Family Car is arguable the toughest category in our awards – especially so at the ‘economy’ Under $30K end of the marketplace.

Criteria here include a $30K pricetag, unimpeachable safety and must-haves like a reversing camera and Bluetooth connectivity.

That a range of size and vehicle types including SUVs and wagons are eligible makes the decision even harder to take out the top prize.

So how does a small hatch fend off all-comers? Simply: you make that small hatch a Volkswagen Golf.

The Golf has been refined, re-defined and honed over seven generations. While it stays true to its original concept, it’s now larger and safer. Regularly awarded for its cabin finish, durability and amenity, it’s also one of a very small number of cars that defy socio-economic pigeon-holing.

With frugal but punchy turbo-petrol engines driving through a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes and independent suspension front and rear, the Golf family also leads the way in terms of powertrain and chassis refinement. It is simply one of the best drives on the road today.
