The Best Car for Your Family

By -


When deciding on your next family car there are many factors to consider and it may seem like a daunting task to many parents. But there is help out there; the first thing you have to do is consider the nature of your family, how big it is, what you do in the car – just the school run? A commute? Or a big out door family cycling weekend. Whatever your needs, make a list and choose a car that ticks all your boxes.

The biggest factor when deciding on a family car is always safety, whether it’s two parents and a baby, or aunties, uncles, cousins and two Labradors, safety is always an issue. Even the most basic of safety packages should cover anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and air bags for every seat in the car, perhaps even side-curtain airbags.

Safety features such as this should come as standard with any new model of car claiming to be for the family. But for the more pocket conscious buying a used car may be more of a realistic scenario, and used car prices by Auto Trader are showing that even some of the second hand cars come with all of the functions needed to make your car safe. A used Volkswagen Sharan for example will feature all of the implicit safety features as they do come as standard on the original vehicle. Some used vehicles may have even had these safety features installed post original purchase making them even more value for money.

Saying that the standard safety features explained above aren’t that expensive to have installed on any car. Remember to do your research and get the best deal on this, many family run garages may give you a better price than the big chains.

    It's hard to go for used cars in the Metro since there's a big probability that the unit's been car-napped.. >.< But if it's a friend who's selling it, I think it's worth a shot.. :)

    I just read a post about getting our own house and now here's to getting our own car. Haha! Me and my husband got our cars of our own and I am completely enjoying it with the freedom to go anywhere I want. I named my car "Chico" and got him 2nd hand.. So far, so good. He's been with me for a yr now. :-)

    we've never had a brand new car and i can say that secondhand cars can also deliver what brand new ones have. proper maintenance is the key.

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

By -

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
