What Suits Your Family Needs; A Car Or An SUV?

by | Mar 21, 2017 | Auto Repair

Ever since the first variant of the Sports Utility Vehicle was introduced there has been an ongoing debate between buyers; which is the better choice, a conventional car or an SUV? There is no getting around the fact that SUVs are extremely popular, they seem to be what minivans were in the mid 90s and what the proverbial station wagon was back in the 70s.

When SUVs first appeared they were seen to fill a void that existed between a sedan and the minivan. SUVs are roomy but they also are far more attractive than the slab sided vans. SUVs are also more than capable of pulling just like a pickup but the ride and handle no different than the luxury cars found at car dealerships in Mount Prospect.

When you are shopping for a new vehicle that will fulfill the needs of you and your family here are a couple of things to think about:

Use: The first consideration has to be use, what exactly do you plan to do with your new vehicle? If you are only going to use it for commuting back and forth to the office, n SUV might be a little too much. On the other hand, if you plan on hauling you boat and enough gear for family weekends away, then an SUV is the perfect choice.

Where you live: If you live in Chicagoland for example where you can expect knee-deep snow every winter then the power, traction and stability of a 4×4 SUV will come in very handy.

How about fuel economy: In the early days of SUVs many were powered by large V8 engines and as a result were no exactly fuel efficient. This is no longer the issue, many crossover versions have the same size engine as a sedan and as such offer the same good fuel economy.

There is really only one way to decide, visit the car dealerships in Mount Prospect and look at the pros and cons of the various vehicles available, only you can make the right choice.
