Best Family Cars of 2011 Kings of the Road

While most guides emphasize style and speed, this one is all about substance. We've teamed up with Edmunds.com, the leading online car-buying resource, to identify the models that meet the needs of parents who have young kids, loads of gear to schlep, and a tight budget. Every vehicle on our list comes standard with a full set of front, side, and side-curtain air bags, antilock brakes, and electronic stability control. Our picks offer fuel efficiency, effortless handling, and family-friendly features; nine of the 15 have been named Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Before you hit the showroom, take a spin through our guide.
