Small Price, Big Style: 5 Cheap and Dependable Cars for Families

With today's busy lifestyle a young and growing family needs a car that they can depend on, a car that won't leave them stranded or need constant costly repairs. In this economy, a family also needs a car that is affordable. If you have a small budget and think you have to forgo style just to own a dependable car, check out these stylish and affordable options.

  Honda Civic Sedan

 

Honda Civic Sedan

 

Honda is a name that has become synonymous with dependability and resale value. The Honda Civic Sedan starts at an astonishing $15,508 and has room for a family of five. An estimated 36 mpg on the highway means that the Civic Sedan is great for that long trip to Grandma's house. The interior is plush and the console is arranged intuitively, giving the driver easy access to all the controls. Four doors make it easy to get small children in and out of the car and opens up the cabin space. The Honda Civic Sedan is a great family vehicle at an incredible price.

 

Toyota Corolla


Not to be outdone by the Civic sedan, the Toyota Corolla starts at $15,600 and gets 35 mpg on the highway. The stylish look of the Corolla is similar in form to the Civic, so you'll be styling in the Corolla as well. The Corolla's ride is smooth and the low center keeps the vehicle feeling stable even in quick turns. There is room for a family of five and the kids don't have to climb behind the front seats to get into the vehicle. The Toyota Corolla stands out as an exceptional value for families on a budget who need a dependable car.

 

Hyundai Elantra


The four door Hyundai Elantra is just a stylish looking, cool car. The body is sporty, the interior is roomy, roomier than both the Corolla and the Civic and it gets an astounding 40 mpg on the highway. Hyundai has come a long way since their humble beginnings and they are a class leader in nearly every car they make. The console looks like you're sitting in a car that costs twice as much and the smooth ride will make you believe it. A small family can ride large in the Hyundai Elantra and best of all it starts at just $14,830.

 

Scion tC


The Scion tC is a very economical ride at a base price of $18,995. With an estimated 31 MPG a small family can get around town without thinking about the gas pumps. The car is sleek and the interior is stylish, however, the backseats are more suited to children old enough to get themselves seated and buckled in on their own. It would be a bit cramped with more than one child's car seat. Cruising around in the Scion tC is just plain fun. It's a smooth ride and it turns heads and with 180 hp the Scion tC has more pep that the Civic Sedan and the Corolla.


Toyota RAV4


If cars aren't your style and you really need a dependable and cheap SUV, you can't go wrong with the Toyota RAV4. The RAV4 is a compact SUV with the space of a midsize. It's third row seating allows room for 7 people, so the whole family can ride. The RAV4 gets 28 mpg on the highway, so you're still getting great gas efficiency along with all that extra space. You'll pay a bit more than you would for any of the cars reviewed here, but with a starting price of $22,000, the RAV4 is still a great bargain.

Colonel Gaddafi Will Not Be Given Safe Haven In Algeria

Colonel Gaddafi will not be given a safe haven in Algeria if he attempts to join family members there who have been given leave to stay on humanitarian grounds. Algeria is well aware of the international condemnation and security problems it may encounter through allowing Gaddafi's wife and children to cross over the border. Unlike Gaddafi though, his family members in Algeria are not subject to arrest warrants from the ICC. According to Press TV , Algerian foreign minister Mourad Medelci says that if Gaddafi does come knocking at the Algerian door he will not be granted entry.  "The hypothesis that Gaddafi could knock our door was never considered," said Medelci. Meldelci also added that Algeria, which has so far refused to accept the legitimacy of the Libyan rebel National Transitional Council, may be willing to do so if a government is formed that represents all regions of Libya. Algeria has particular worries regarding Islamists, and worked

Toronto - Blockbuster Canada will be closing down its remaining stores by the end of the year.
