How To Choose A Spacious Car!

Author : Dr. Drew Henry
Have you ever felt that your little car can no longer handle your ever growing family members? Have you ever thought of getting a new, bigger, more spacious car? If so, then this article will show you how to choose the perfect spacious car for your family!



First off, the choice for a more spacious family vehicle is usually between a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and a minivan. Both offer flexible passenger and cargo areas, comfortable seating for five to eight persons, and rear-seat entertainment systems.



So, what type of car should you choose? To come up with the right choice, you need to look at how the vehicleÂ’s styling, fuel economy, passenger and cargo space, towing capacity, and safety will suit your familyÂ’s needs and lifestyle.



Passenger & Cargo Space - Sport utility vehicles and minivans have comparable passenger and cargo space, but the roomy interiors of a minivan can be a delight to young kids. Unlike SUVs, minivans also have a low step-in height, so theyÂ’re easier for kids to climb into. MinivansÂ’ large picture windows afford young passengers a better view of the passing scenery, therefore keeping your impatient young ones amused for a good part of the ride.



Fuel Consumption - Minivans give better mileage than SUVs, which have a reputation for being gas guzzlers. If you want to squeeze more miles out of the gasoline tank, then a minivan would make a more economic choice than an SUV. Other ownership costs, such as maintenance and insurance, also tend to be higher for SUVs than minivans. Unless youÂ’re willing to pay the price for being cool and stylish, the practical minivan is the way to go.



Style - More than a matter of need, a vehicleÂ’s styling is a matter of personal preference. The SUV usually wins out over the minivan when it comes to appearance. With its rugged, sporty styling, an SUV oozes urban cool, unlike the minivan, which is perpetually associated with soccer moms and suburban neighborhood carpools. Most men would recoil at the thought of driving a minivan, so if your husband would be sharing driving duties, you might have to talk it out with him.



Towing Capacity - If you own a boat and like to take the entire brood for weekend sailing retreats, then an SUV would make an appropriate choice. SUVs have superior towing capacities, enabling them to pull practically anything between a trailer and a small boat. Otherwise, if youÂ’re only schlepping groceries and your kidÂ’s soccer team, then thereÂ’s no reason to overlook the minivan.



Safety - Although both have comparable safety features, SUVs have a higher rollover risk than minivans. SUV devotees counter this by pointing out that rollovers account for only three percent of all traffic accidents and claiming that SUVs offer excellent passenger protection in two-car collisions. It remains to be seen whether this supposed collision safety factor outweighs the risk of rollovers. If the threat of rollover accidents keeps you awake at night, then a minivan could give you a little peace of mind.



Choosing the perfect spacious car for your family involves carefully evaluating the above features and choosing whatÂ’s best for everyone. By doing your homework, youÂ’ll save yourself from ever facing buyerÂ’s remorse when buying your next family car!
