Most petrol family cars are less than 1500 kg in Europe. Americans are used to overweight cars and that's spreading to here too. Though it's often a problem since most city parking spots are smaller than huge cars like Tesla model Y.
- formerly_proven 2y agoPeople don’t use a Golf VII as a family car, they use SUVs. And most of those are closer to 2 tons than 1.5.
- trallnag 2y agoBased on your experience? My parents use their Golf 7 to drive down south to Italy from Germany every other year. Two adults, two teenagers, and one small dog fit in better than into my dad's late 2000s Mercedes S class
- lnsru 2y agoHalf of Germany drove to Italy with their VW Beetles back then. It’s a traditional thing. However there are some neighborhoods where with second child family buys their Mercedes V class or VW T6. I prefer those over the ones having Ford Fiesta as a family car.
- sirsinsalot 2y agoPlenty use golf sized cars as family cars. Fairly normal in the EU and UK
- bgnn 2y agoGolf is THE family car. SUVs are not as common and often driven by boomers who don't live with their children anymore.
- jcd000 2y agoMy family (of 4) car is a Kia Rio :). We live in an EU city and do 300km trips every other weekend. Frequently it is a tight fit, but one can manage.
