We get it. You’re probably reluctant to get a station wagon to avoid the cliche’ ‘mom-car’ tag that comes with it. But, family cars are not always boring; especially when your family has the latest vehicle technology to mess around with during a long holiday road trip. Why not sell your used car and get a family-friendly SUV, minivan or bakkie (pickup truck). By doing so, you can be sure to expect:

Spacious – seats can fold to fit in large furniture.
Tons of seating – 7 to 8 passengers.
Entertainment – built-in DVD and in-app leisure can keep the kids amused until the end of your road journey.
