Travel in class. This handsome vehicle is a perfect car when you’re traveling in big groups. Go ahead and invite your kid’s best friend for a ride. The 2013 Cadillac Escapade can handle carpooling duties well. To add to that, it has a luxurious interior and rear-seat entertainment.

As a Kentucky Accident Attorney, I encourage parents to put safety first when choosing which car to buy. While these vehicles mentioned above provide value for your money, you still cannot just choose one without doing your research. Before you buy a car, take it for a test driver, looking into its history (if it’s a used car) and pick the car that is right for you. You will be driving this car for years to come, so you want to pick one that is not only safe, but that fits your budget.
