► Everything from a budget SUV to V8-engined estate
► We’ll keep this list updated
Once upon a time, a family car probably meant a Ford Cortina – perhaps even a Granada if your dad met his sales targets. Now, it might be an SUV instead of a three-box saloon, a premium badge instead of a mainstream one, an electric motor instead of a petrol engine. It might well be mum buying the car, too.
With no much choice, it s no wonder the Ford Mondeo – grandson of the Cortina – is soon for the chop. People still require a practical car for school runs, Sunday outings and summer holidays, but the one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. That s why we ve made this list as diverse as the market itself.

I now know when it is likely that I will have a heart attack. It will be when I’m walking, unsuspectingly, on the footpath and a Tesla happens to honk using the most terrifying sound I’ve heard in weeks: a bleating goat. Now, I’ve looked up videos of othergoats bleating, and they do not scare me. In fact, they’re kind of cute. But the Tesla goat sounds like it is bleat screaming, and it is very alarming.
