In today’s economy, many families are cutting back, but if your car is getting old and you are spending more in repairs than you pay in monthly car payments, now is the best time to trade in your old car for a new or previously owned certified Toyota.  There are factory incentives and dealer rebates never before seen in the car industry.

Edmunds.com and Parent magazine test drove dozens of models to see which ones were at the top of the safety ratings list and best suited for family cars.
The cars on the list all had standard safety features including anti-lock brake systems, and side-curtain air bags, most all offered stability control technology which prevents skids by automatically applying brake pressure when needed.   They all scored high on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s side impact crash test and received at least a “good” rating from the IIHS, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The Toyota RAV 4 was selected as one of the best choices for family vehicles in the Crossover category, it scored points for  great handling, v-6 engine, sliding back seats that also recline, and for being the only car in its’ class with an optional third row of seats-boosting seating capacity to 7!

The second Toyota listed on the top 15 2008 cars for families in the mini-van group was the Sierra, because of all of the essentials 14 cup holders and storage areas, an optional center seat in the second row and the laser cruise control which will automatically slow the vehicle down when it senses a car within close proximity in front, The seats fold flat allowing for  a lot of cargo space for kids’ equipment and packing for trips, according to parent magazine the Toyota can hold enough luggage for a week for 7!

And of course both the Toyota vehicles were chosen for the high safety standards that is a trademark of Toyota.
