With the baby boom in full swing in Miami, it is certain that at least a few of us are considering cars with a growing family in mind. If a family car that marries style, function, value, and most importantly, safety is what you’re considering, then Honda is the best place to start. After testing every vehicle on today’s mainstream auto market (over 340 vehicles in all), then judging across 5 categories, Parents magazine has named a Honda as a ‘Best Family Car’ in 4 out of the 5 auto categories. Factors considered in judging included value, safety, performance, interior design, exterior design, and family-friendly features, and Honda was specifically praised for combining “family friendliness with value and performance”. The Fit was recommended for the budget category, the CR-V was recommended for the crossover category, the Odyssey was recommended for the minivan category, and the Accord was tops in the sedan category.
