What Is A Good Family Car For 4 People?


Recommended Posts

Is this "family" car required for a "new" family or older family? I dunno about you guys but the amount of stuff I regularly need to cart around in the boot of my stag would never fit in a sedan (not without things getting broken).

You can survive with a sedan, but I reckon boot space is one of those things you never think you need, until you have it - and then you'll never go back.

Dead on mate. Could not agree more.

Since ive seen the price of stag wagons, i wish i had of got one...GC low kms under 10k...but it had to be turbo (to offset the ugly factor) which i think meant they wouldnt insure my girl until 25.... but yeah good value...

oh god, not a TATA. they just go and buy parts (generally left overs) off other manufacturers and make them fit together until they resemble a car.

HAhahaha. True, But TATA are so big they bought Jaguar and Land Rover off Ford. They dont interfere with what the factories do, and fund them as required.

went through this dilemma myself last year, plaenty of good "family" cars floating around.

Mitsubishi Legnum TT

Mitsubishi Galant TT

Toyota Aristo TT

Nissan Stagea

only drama with these cars is, manuals are hard to come across if even an option.

plus I don't think the Aristo has the boot space for what he/she needs.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
