Top Cars for Top Dads

June 7, 2022

Dads can do it all. They love to cook, fix stuff, go camping, and just have fun. Dads also like to stay up to date on the latest technology and keep a cool sports car in the garage. They do not mind occasionally toting the kids around to numerous sporting events. Because he wears so many hats, dad needs a car that fits his needs. Check out the top eight cars for dad depending on what he likes to do.

2016 Subaru Forester For Dog Dad

Dad won the father of the year award when he brought home a family dog, but he needed a car to go with it. That is where the 2016 Subaru Forester comes it. It has a large, boxy cargo area that is plenty big enough to accommodate any sized dog cage. It also has lots of big windows any dog will love to stick his head out of. Standard models come with all-wheel drive and have an optional turbocharged engine so dad can get man’s best friend too and from the dog park quicker.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class For The CEO Dad

While CEO dad might not necessarily be in charge at the office, he is in charge at home (or at least when mom is not around). The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS Class is the ride for him. If there is a Little League game on tonight’s agenda, the GLS has got it covered. It features a spacious interior with plenty of seats, suburb handling, unrivaled luxuries on the inside, and a twin-turbo V8 engine. Just like the CEO dad, the GLS class is a boss in its own right.

2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel For The Handyman Dad

Handyman dad needs a good old fashioned truck to get ‘er done. The 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has what he needs to uphold his reputation, including a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine with 420 pounds per feet of torque power and a 9,210-pound towing rate. The diesel option provides twenty-eight highway miles per gallon, so handyman dad can travel when needed. It also has a smooth ride thanks to its coil-spring rear suspension and a RamBox bedside storage system to carry all those tools.

2017 Honda Ridgeline For The Chef Dad

Most dads love to eat, and that means they love to cook. Chef Dad needs a versatile ride that can haul grills and accompany the entire family for tailgating parties, but it still has to be family-friendly enough to get the mom approval. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline is the best of both worlds. It features a four-foot wide flat bed for hauling grilling supplies and coolers. It also has an optional four hundred watt power inverter so he can watch the game or plug in accessories.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata For The Fun Dad

Everyone knows a fun dad. He is the one with a cool car tucked away in the garage. He takes it out once and while to wash or maybe take on a Sunday stroll. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is his car. It has a classic sports car feel with strong midrange torque that surprises other fun dads on the road in their muscle cars as the quickest Miata yet. Asking him for a ride is how he gets his kicks.

2016 Toyota Sienna For The Chauffer Dad

A minivan is not most dad’s first choice in a car, but that is the great thing about chauffer dad. He knows that a two-door coupe will not get the job done. The 2016 Toyota Sienna is perfect for him. It has three-row seating so the kids can bring a friend. Plus there is plenty of room for storage. A 3.5-liter V6 engine provides quick acceleration and dad can opt for an all-wheel drive option, so the kids are always on time despite bad weather.

2016 Jeep Wrangler For The Wilderness Dad

When wilderness dad is not planning the next weekend family camping trip, he is probably out off-roading in his 2016 Jeep Wrangler. It is a no-brainer for the dad who likes to camp or spend any amount of time in nature. Almost no other vehicle on the market can match its terrain-busting power or performance. The 2016 model features many upgrades for the ultimate adventure vehicle, but it still has a manual transmission for the dad who would rather not fuss with an automatic.

2017 Audi Q7 For The Techie Dad

The techie dad is no stranger to forking over lots of money for the latest gadget trends, which makes him a perfect candidate for the 2017 Audi Q7. It comes with a host of nerdy technical features the techie dad will love, including a virtual cockpit instrument panel that consists of a high-quality computer screen with virtual gauges, and infotainment functions such as music and navigation. It also has an impressive V6 engine and all-wheel drive any techie dad can be proud of.
