When choosing an 8-passenger car for a family, you should define the main tasks it should perform:

  • A minivan is more than enough to get around the city;
  • For tourist trips, where rough terrain is supposed, it is more expedient to look towards SUVs.

A family car must be reliable, safe, and inexpensive to maintain. Another point is the practical upholstery, as traveling with children is always accompanied by snacks. Therefore, it is better to exclude premium and finicky materials right away. Otherwise, you can go broke on the dry cleaning of the salon.

A family car has to be versatile. It should be convenient for single trips and traveling altogether. Come to Indy Auto Man for a test drive with your family and buy the best used eight-seater where everyone will feel safe and comfortable.
