When size does matter
You may see yourself in a fun, little two-seater but for many people this type of vehicle is simply not practical. Do you have a family? Do you need to take passengers on a regular basis? Are you into sports? Or, would you ever take a vehicle off-road? These are the questions that can help you decide on a vehicle type.
Body Style: Different Shapes and Sizes
One of the best places to start when deciding on a new car is the type of vehicle. Here are some of the more popular choices among first new car buyers:
- Economy cars - Generally cars with smaller price tags, offered in both sedan and 5-door (hatchback) styles. Chevrolet Sonic is an example.
- Small cars - Small size but big on options and features. Good examples include Chevrolet Cruze.
- Compact utility - Smaller, more affordable SUVs such as the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain.

Comfort: Feel the Confidence Boost
Let's face it; confidence on the road will likely increase if you are comfortable while driving. So don't forget about features that can help you get comfy like power seat adjusters, lumbar support and even heated seats. An adjustable steering wheel and pedals can also help you achieve your ideal driving position.
Style: The Fun and Frivolous Part
Regardless of what others may tell you, it's hard not to let your emotions get carried away when it comes to deciding on the right car. And the reality is, for the amount of money you're spending - it is important to love the car you buy. So have fun picking a colour you love and a few extra options that will make your ride more enjoyable.
