How to choose the perfect car
Buying a car can make a big dent in your wallet, so it’s
important to choose a car that’s right for you. There are a few things to
consider when you buy your next car, so keep reading to find out what they are!
How many miles do you plan on driving?
How much can you afford?
Of course, the first thing you’ll want to make sure of is
how much you want to spend. Don’t just factor the actual cost of the car, but
also running and insurance costs. That 2 litre engine car might look the part,
but if you’re a new driver then you’re looking at a hefty insurance premium.
What are you using it for?
Different cars are built with different usages in mind.
You’re probably going to struggle driving mountainous roads with a
small-engined hatchback. You also might find a challenge in parking your large
4X4 in the limited space of a city centre. Decide what your day-to-day usage
is.
Who’s going to be using it?
If you’re someone that regularly has passengers, you’ll need
to consider this when choosing your car. For example, if you have children and
car seats to battle with, then a more spacious interior and a five door car
might be best. If it’s just for taking your friends out for the day, then a
three door car will do the job just fine.

Whether you choose petrol, diesel or an electric car all
depends on your mileage. If you drive under 12,000 miles a year, then you’re
probably better off with a petrol engine. Diesel cars are more expensive to buy
than petrol cars, so although the fuel is cheaper you would need to drive a lot
more miles to get value for money. If you plan to use your car for city
driving, then an electric car might be a good option.
What features are important to you?
Are you someone that likes to travel a lot, so need a decent
amount of boot space? Do you want parking sensors to compensate for blind
spots? Maybe you want a heated windscreen so you don’t have to spend cold
winter mornings scraping the ice of it. Let these features guide you towards
what car is right for you, rather than look for these features afterwards.
