Imagine that you have some money to buy a vehicle. You have the choice to buy a normal sedan, a sports car, the one that make a loud noise but only have space for two, an SUV, a 4x4, a pickup truck and lastly an MPV?
Out of that list, which one would you buy and why do you choose that instead of the others? What would be your considerations when choosing a vehicle of your choice? Do you go for looks or do you go for comfort? Do you need the extra space or the less space the better? Do you buy the cheapest or buy the top of the line model? Do you buy based on the brand or based on what your friends or relatives recommended to you? Do you want something that goes fast and use lots of fuel or something that go slow but less fuel consumption due to the smaller engine capacity?
As you can see, just to make a simple decision on buying a vehicle to use, there are so many things that we need to consider. If you check with your grand father, he would probably tell you that during his time, it was very easy to choose a vehicle as there would not be too much to choose from.
Anyway, back to the question above, I would appreciate it if you could let me know your choice and the reason for making that choice. Thanks and have a great weekends!

I would and did buy a sedan. I would have preferred a minivan over a sedan, but as a sedan is less expensive than a minivan I opted for this instead. I did not buy the top of the line model. It was somewhere in between, but with it being an older car I guess that doesn't matter!
LOL The things I was looking for in a (used) car was that it had low to average miles for it's age, was in good running condition, that a family of 4 could fit in comfortably! I went with a V-6, but it actually gets better gas mileage than my little 4 cylinder truck. Well it did before I stopped driving it! Darn thing needs to be repaired so it's just sitting at the moment.

Yup,a sedan can fit for adults comfortably! With the current oil price, most of us can't afford those gas guzzler anymore... I remembered when I was in the US back in 1988 and 1989, I can buy a full tank of gas for only $10.00...
Anyway, when looking for a second, low mileage and minimum repair needed is what I'll be looking for too..

Well, I have a family of 8 so I have to buy bigger vehicles and there are only a few out there that fit my family. Unfortunitly none of them are friends of the enviornment or my wallet! I am waiting for some sort of big hybrid to come out. But in general I have had better luck with Honda's and Toyota but at this point they are to expensive for me so I am driving a Chrysler and a Chevey
