Choosing a Right Sized Car

Making a choice on what size car to buy can often be quite difficult. The power and handling of a sports car is desirable, but is it really practical? This depends on a variety of factors.

Do you have kids?
- If you have kids then you should avoid getting a sports car with only two seats. In addition, you should consider buying a sedan as getting a car seat into the back seat with only two doors is incredibly difficult. For the older kids, there is just not enough leg room in a car with only two doors. Unless you want to get the back of your seat kicked constantly, you might want to consider another alternative.

Do carry a lot of big items in your car?
- If you work in construction or are just looking to be able to carry around large pieces of furniture, you should consider a pickup truck. There are some models that are relatively inexpensive even compared to other cars. Plus, your friends will love you for all those times that they need to move or buy a large piece of furniture.

Do you plan on hauling a boat or trailer?
- If you are going to haul a trailer you need a large sized car or truck. Pickup trucks and SUVs are the ideal choice if you are going to haul a boat or trailer. It is possible to haul a boat with a mini-van or other smaller car; however, this can become quite dangerous and should be avoided if possible.

Are you looking for a date?
- There are many cars out there that are designed specifically for horse power and style. Consider purchasing a luxury car or a sports car for those special dates.

Are you looking for horse power or torque?
- If you are looking for torque, you should consider larger cars, SUVs, or trucks. There are brands that are specifically known for torque for instance Ford so make sure that you are buying a car from a manufacturer that knows how to put torque into a vehicle. If you are looking for pure horsepower, try a sports car. Car's like the Mazda Miata have horse power with little torque.

Do you like large cars or a small cars?
- This can greatly impact your decision. Make sure that you have a rough idea before heading to the dealership.

If you consider these questions before making your purchase, you will have a much better idea of the size of the car you are searching for.
