1. Buy a smaller car if you want to save money. Other than luxury sports cars, small cars generally cost less than larger models. They also consume less fuel, which will save you money over the long term. Opt for a smaller car if it suits your lifestyle and if your family can fit comfortably inside. Many small cars are surprisingly roomy inside. Visit a dealership to see them in person before dismissing them for being too cramped.
2. Avoid 2 door cars for a family of more than 2 people. If you have kids, intend to have kids in the near future, or drive around friends or family on a regular basis, opt for a 4 door car over a small 2 door car. The process of pushing up a front seat to let your backseat passengers in and out of the car will likely grow tedious over time. Sedans and hatchbacks with 2 doors are good choices with affordable options on the market.
3. Get a full-size minivan or SUV to suit a large family. If you regularly transport 4 or more people and need lots of trunk space, opt for a large vehicle to suit your needs. A minivan or SUV can carry up to 8 passengers when equipped with a second-row bench seat. Some large vans can accommodate up to 15 people.
4. Opt for a pick up truck if you regularly transport large items. Pick up trucks are popular and powerful vehicles with a range of options and features. If you intend to pull a trailer or haul multi-ton loads, look for a full-sized, heavy-duty pick up truck. If your cargo transport needs mostly involve hauling dirty items that you wouldn't want in the interior of a vehicle, like construction debris and mulch, opt for a compact pick up truck.
