How to choose the right car for your lifestyle
SUV, sedan, hatchback or pickup? Here's what to consider when choosing your next vehicle.
Choosing a vehicle is about more than finding something that looks good. The right car should suit how you actually plan to use it.
For regular city driving, a compact hatchback or sedan can provide good fuel economy and make parking easier. Larger families may benefit from the additional passenger and luggage space offered by an SUV.
If your work or lifestyle involves carrying equipment, travelling on rough roads or towing, a pickup or capable SUV may be more suitable.
Running costs should also form part of your decision. Consider fuel consumption, servicing, insurance and the availability of replacement parts.
Before making your final decision, think about the journeys you make most often and choose a vehicle that fits those needs rather than simply choosing based on appearance.
