I'm talking about a car that is like, a normal car. Not a sports car, not a classic car, I'm talking about a regular, practical, modern car for just driving around anywhere.
I would, personally, get myself a 2020-2022 Nissan Versa. It's one of the few sedans on Brazil that has a 1.6 liter engine, and while the fact it has a CVT is kind of crummy I just really like how it looks and all the bells and whistles it comes with. And since I'm in Brazil, we get a dark blue version that looks amazing!
That is really dependent on a lot of factors more than just "for a family." What do you intend to do with your family in the car? How big is your family, and do you have room for "unplanned" additions? What region do you live in, are there a lot of good quality paved roads or is it only dirt and grass? What is your budget? Do you want a brand-new vehicle or a used one? How long do you plan on keeping the vehicle? What will its re-sale value be at that time? How expensive is the maintenance? When the oldest members in the family get older, will it be hard/painful to enter or exit the vehicle? There are a lot of factors one should consider before picking a vehicle for their family.
