Buying A Car - Understanding Your Needs
Thinking about what you need from your next car purchase will help you avoid ending up with a van when an MPV is really the order of the day. If you need more help in pinpointing some suitable cars, always consider:
Do you ever actually use the rear seats or would even a five-seat compact MPV be too small to cope with your family plans?
- Do you need a lot of boot space or will the car only ever be used for the weekly shop? If you carry lots of things around, you’ll benefit from added room.
- What sort of journeys will you make? A tiny runabout is great if you just need to buzz around town but, if you take to the highways often, a little more power and comfort would be welcome.
- How many distances will you cover? The more distances you do, the more likely it is you’ll be able to pay off the added cost of a diesel and start saving cash.
- Is outright performance important to you? Would you spend the next three years kicking yourself if you got a 1.6 instead of that 2.0-litre?
- Is safety the top priority? Do you want the best Puspakom score and as many airbags as possible?
