The Winners

The Best Cars for Families awards span so many different automotive classes that it's easy for families to find cars, vans and SUVs that will suit their lifestyle. Families looking for a compact car will like the Chevrolet Cruze, which, despite its small exterior, has interior space that's in line with what some midsize sedans offer. Families who want to ride in style and luxury should check out the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, which offers features like a rear-seat entertainment system and has a roomy back seat that will make any kid the envy of the pickup lane at school.

The Chevrolet Suburban, which seats up to 9, or the Honda Odyssey, which seats up to 8, are natural choices for larger families, and have amenities like climate controls for the rear seats and chilled compartments for drinks and snacks. The Chevrolet Traverse is the Best 3-Row SUV for Families, and it offers convenient features like remote start and a parking aid. For more luxury and just as many seats, the Lincoln MKT, the Best Luxury 3-Row SUV, has both keyless entry and keyless start, so parents won't have to fumble through their pockets or bags when it's time to hit the road.

The Ford Fusion Hybrid is the Best Hybrid Car for Families. In addition to offering plenty of back-seat space, its fuel economy means parents won't have to drain college funds to fill up the tank. The Best Hybrid SUV for Families is the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. It can seat up to 7, making it a green choice for car pool duty.

For families on the go, the car has become an extension of the home. Finding a car that's comfortable, safe, reliable and has the features that make life easier can be tough. The Best Cars for Families awards can't take the guesswork out of potty training, helping with homework or dealing with first crushes, but they do take the guesswork out of finding a great family car.

I hated every Toyota dealer I've been to for service. They are just far too busy to pay attention to anything.
