Q. Which car do you suggest for me to buy?

Q.

I want to buy a car for my family. We are 4 all together with two boys of 13 & 11 respectively.
I am using Toyota Corolla CSX.
Which car do you suggest for me to buy?
I would prefer used,strong car with safety measures rating high at range of 10-12 thousand.

A.

There are a number of cars for you to choose from.  I can take a guess that you would also like something roomy with 2 growing teenage boys.

Not knowing the body configuration that you prefer, the tables below list the safest cars in their category.  Each and every one of these cars have a 5 star used car safety rating (which means it’s excellent).  I have highlighted the cars that I think would best be suited to your requirements.  Cars highlighted in blue may be a little hard to find in your price range.  You shouldn’t have any issues in finding those cars highlighted in green within your price range.

Good luck with your car shopping.
