What's the best car to buy for a family of six?

For a family of six, you'll typically need either a three-row SUV or a minivan since most sedans and standard crossovers max out at five seats. Three-row SUVs like the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Kia Sorento, or Chevrolet Traverse offer good reliability, cargo space, and resale value. Minivans (Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Pacifica) give you easier access to rear seats and more interior room, though some families prefer the higher driving position of an SUV. The best choice depends on your budget, whether you prioritize fuel economy, towing capacity, or passenger comfort. When shopping, focus on vehicles with good safety ratings since you're carrying kids—check NHTSA and IIHS scores. Reliability matters too; Toyota and Honda typically hold up well over time, which saves money on repairs. Consider whether you need all-wheel drive (helpful in wet South Florida weather) and how often the third row will actually be used, since that affects whether a larger vehicle makes sense for your daily driving. Your next step is to figure out your budget and whether you're buying new or used.
