TrueCar.com Names Top 10 Most Popular Cars for Dads Just In Time For Father’s Day

If you really want to outdo yourself this Father's Day, getting your siblings, and maybe even Mom, to pitch in for a car for dad could be a great idea. Whether your dad's been driving the same rust bucket around since before you were born, or it's just time for a change, it might be a good idea to take your father shopping for used cars in New Jersey this weekend.

TrueCar.com, an online automotive information resource, recently published its list of the 10 Most Popular Cars for Dads, which includes everything from pickup trucks like the award-winning Ford F-150 to fuel-efficient compact sedans like the Honda Accord. The list isn't based on dream vehicles, but cars and trucks that make sense for a family – and that your dad will enjoy driving.

"Unlike the list of vehicles men prefer, which includes the Porsche 911 in the top spot, the data shows that fathers have traded in speed for practical vehicles with a back seat," said Kirsten Anderssen, senior analyst for TrueCar.com. "We're finding that fathers need a fuel-efficient car for commuting to work and weekend activities."

The Honda Odyssey found its way onto the list, as it's a great choice for a dad with a big family. It was ranked as the best choice for dads with two or more kids, and has been the top-ranking minivan for many years. The Toyota Sienna and Camry made the list, as did the Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata and Chevrolet Silverado. All of theses cars have been on the market for years, so those looking to purchase a used vehicle for dad this Father's Day can head to New Jersey State Auto Auction. The dealer has a wide variety of makes and models, making it easy to find the right car for you father this year.
