Kia Venga crowned best for family

A CAR has been crowned best family car by a Hampshire motoring journalist in his latest book.

The Kia Venga came out on top after Tim Saunders from Locks Heath conducted extensive research into what makes a good family car for his Family Cars book. The book considers over 40 saloons, hatchbacks, estates, SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) and 4x4s.

‘I have tested everything from a £200,000 Bentley to a

more affordable Honda Civic,’ said Tim, an advanced motorist, who has driven every car featured in the book.

He added: ‘The simplicity and good design of the Venga coupled with reliability and reasonable economy make the Kia Venga an extremely attractive proposition for a family of four or five because there’s a good amount of room all round.

‘It has certainly won me over and I have to smile because I have seen a growing number of these vehicles on theroad.

Family Cars is available from Amazon.
