Fast Family Cars: What to look for?
A fast family car can be enjoyable but you’ll need to consider practicality, including safety and space, first. After all, there’s no point in having a sports car that’s quick off the mark if there’s not enough room for your family inside it!
Make sure the car you choose has the right safety features. The car should have enough space for all family members and their things whilst being comfortable on longer drives. You should consider the cost implications, as high-performance cars typically have higher fuel and insurance costs. Ultimately, you need to choose a fast family car that balances safety and practicality while still putting pleasure into driving.
Here are some of the key features to look out for when on the hunt for a fast family car:
- 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating: the highest safety rating available, with every vehicle thoroughly tested.
- Stability control: to keep you and your family firmly in place on the road at higher speeds.
- Automatic braking: keeps you safe when you need it by braking when a hazard is detected on the road.
- Lane departure warning: maintain your position on the road and be warned when you drift to the edge of the lane.
- Child locks: for the peace of mind your little ones can’t open the door while driving.
- 0 to 60 mph in seven seconds or less: these fast family cars can reach 62 mph in seven seconds or less.
- Cruise control: taking the stress out of driving on motorways, whilst maintaining your speed.
