Having a Functional Family Car With Style

We?d all like to have a super stylish car, but for those of us who have families, function is a criterion that can?t be ignored. Families can be hard on cars, so unless you want to have your sports car with your mechanic for car repairs every few weeks, you may have to get something a little more family appropriate. Thankfully, you can have a functional car that looks stylish as well, and the following are some of the ways that you can go about it.

Station wagons

A lot of families go for the station wagon option, as this seems to be the easiest way of having a space to pack all the essential supplies for family outings. You can hide the practicality factor of your wagon by doing it up, with a new paint job, stereo, tinted windows or sunroof.

SUVs

Sports utility vehicles can be just the way to provide for all of your city needs, as well as making it easy for you and the family to take off on those awesome road trips. These days, SUVs are some of the most stylish vehicles on the road, so your main concern will be finding one to suit your budget, and of course picking the right colour.

4WDs

If your family are weekend warriors and like to get out off trail in your spare time, owning a 4WD can be a very functional thing, as it will be providing you with your regular transportation needs, as well as the recreation needs of your family. If you are only buying a 4WD to impress your friends, you are wasting your money, as this vehicle is only functional if four wheel driving

is something that you like to do for fun.

Get the upgrades

It?s all of those upgrades that will make your car look ultra stylish, so once you?re sure that you have something big enough, totally deck it out! Leather seating and power windows will add to the style and comfort of your vehicle, and being a little large will be a positive rather than a negative, with increased leg and head room.

Throw it on top

If you have a stylish vehicle already but not enough storage room, get yourself some roof racks or a storage box for the top of your car. This will allow your car to still look fantastic without compromising on practicality.

Get a tow hitch

Regardless of how pretty or stylish your car is, as long as it has a way to tow a trailer, it will be worth its wait in gold. Being able to tow a trailer when it needs to will make your car far more than just a good looker, and will be a fantastic bonus, whether you?re looking to haul a boat or a caravan.

No longer does having a family mean that you have to drive a huge, ugly and nondescript vehicle. Family cars have become far more stylish over the past few years, to the extent that some of the latest and coolest music videos nowadays, often include footage of family style vehicles. So make sure your family has all the space that you need, and then see how you can add a bit of style and flair to your family transportation.
