Toyota: We Are Family—Get a Load of These Three Best Family Car Picks for 2012!

Westboro Toyota is excited to announce that Parents magazine and Edmunds.com have selected three Toyota models as the best family cars for 2012!

As a family-owned and operated Toyota dealership serving Central Massachusetts and Metrowest since the 1970s, Westboro Toyota couldn’t be more proud of our automotive brood.

If you’re in the market for a family vehicle, check out the three best family car picks for 2012: the Toyota Prius (high-mileage category—40-plus mpg), the Toyota Camry (sedan category) and the Toyota Sienna (large vehicle category).

The vehicles were evaluated on a number of criteria that may be particularly important to families, such as kid-friendly feature, safety, fuel economy, ride comfort, styling and handling.

This is the fifth consecutive year that several Toyota models have made this list. Westboro Toyota isn’t surprised though (call us doting parents if you must!) because we know that Toyotas aren’t just known for their safety, quality and durability—they’re also recognized for features that focus on convenience and technology to make drivers (and their families) lives' easier.

We’d like to give a high-five to the newest member of the Prius family—the Prius v, which was recognized for its stable ride and ample cargo space and praised for its versatility and standard technology features including the Entune^® mulitmedia system and a hands-free smart key, which unlocks the driver’s side door as you approach the door handle.
 

Next up is the all-new seventh generation 2012 Toyota Camry, with its updated styling, convenient Entune technology, quiet ride, ample cargo space and excellent fuel economy. It’s no wonder why the Camry is America’s best-selling car and an extremely popular choice for families, especially because it was an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2012. IIHS, which stands for the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, rates vehicles on how well they protect occupants in front, side and rear impact crashes and rollovers. Top safety pick awards recognize those vehicles offering the greatest level of crash protection. Way to go Camry for your IIHS rating!

Last but by no means least in the Toyota Sienna minivan, chosen for its flexible configurations to fit every family, type of trip and cargo combination. In 2010, the Sienna was completely redesigned to cater to the needs of drivers seeking a traditional family van that could meet the growing demands of needing more responsive driving characteristics, contemporary styling and onboard entertainment technology.  The Sienna has got the state-of-the-art features and rewarding driving dynamics to satisfy families of all sizes!

So, what are you waiting for, stop by Westboro Toyota today to take the family out for a test drive!
