2009 Chevrolet Traverse
The Chevy Traverse and its Saturn, GMC, and Buick cousins are excellent family vehicles, and the Traverse is the most reasonably priced of the bunch. If you're buying a family mover, these vehicles are cooler than a minivan and more practical and efficient than a truck-based SUV. In fact, they make truck-based SUVs practically unnecessary for anyone who doesn't need the extra towing capacity.
