There are many factors to consider when buying a car. Your choices will depend on your personal and financial situation. Even the climate you live in may play an important role in this decision as to whether you need 4WD or a convertible.

Additionally, these days, fuel economy should always be considered.

Consider a financial plan that allows for proper upkeep and maintenance of your family car. And research cars that require less repair as they will last a lot longer.
