Shopping for new cars
Even when you have a virtually unlimited amount of money at your disposal, you still may not know how and where to buy a convenient and reliable car.
First and foremost, you should remember that your main goal is safe driving. Driving a super-expensive car is not as important as safe driving. Luxury cars are surely better for the most relaxing and comfortable ride. But when you drive such a car, you can eventually forget about your safety. You may or may not feel all the potholes and bumps on the road. You may not even notice all the vibrations and shocks. It is so quiet in a luxury car that even the noise of the engine is muted to a minimum. For this reason, the car always seems too slow, even when the speed is more than 100 km/hour.
If you are planning to buy your very first car, it is better to shop for the class B or C vehicle. These small-sized cars allow you to quickly learn the rules of city traffic. It is also easier to control a small-sized car. Another big advantage of the small-sized vehicles is the ease of parking. As for the jeeps and other large vehicles, it is very hard to explain why so many people adore these huge and not-so-efficient vehicles. In some cases, you will have to pass additional exams to be allowed to drive a jeep. This is mainly because driving a jeep is somewhat more complex than driving a sedan. The biggest problem is in the fact that jeeps and SUVs are quite large, and the stopping distance is much higher than when you drive a sedan. In addition, due to the large size of your vehicle, you can eventually overlook a small car passing by.
For many drivers, a car with a powerful engine is nothing more than unnecessary expenses. Those drivers who live in big cities often admit that they cannot find proper application for their SUVs and jeeps. For this very reason, car manufacturers offer a selection of more than 20 engines for different cars. Of course, with such a huge selection, it may seem to be quite hard to make the right choice. Still, the things are not that complicated, when you learn more about different vehicles and the recommended horsepower.
Another mistake made by almost all novice drivers is the desire of having an all-wheel drive car.
Such a car may have a higher throughput, but it also has huge disadvantages. For example, in critical situations, even professional drivers can lose control of such cars. A rear-wheel drive car is also not the best option for the novice drivers. After all, such vehicles are prone to drift of the rear axles, which does not pose a threat at first glance. In this case, the front-drive car is the best possible choice. The front drive is more predictable on the road than any other type of drives. Besides, almost all modern vehicles are equipped with the front-wheel drive.
