4 Types of Cars You Should Know About Before Buying One

​We all want to have a vehicle someday. May it be secondhand or not, owning a car can be very convenient for traveling, not to mention the sense of pride it gives. Check out the various kinds and get to know which car is your type before deciding on one.

4-Door Sedans
These cars have three boxes for configuration, mainly for the engine, passenger, and cargo. Most of the time, automobile shoppers usually choose sedans for purchase. They secure and enclosed trunk and offer easy entry that rear doors give to passengers. Compared to different body styles, sedans are more comfortable. It makes them the best choice as luxury vehicles.

Sedans can come in different sizes. In the US, the smallest are sub-compact sedans. They include the Chevrolet Metro and Hyundai Accent. Marketers for Automotives created a new category for these cars called the "near-luxury." They are so-called due to their price ranging from $30,000 to $40,000. The typical luxury sedan has a rate of over $40,000. While near-luxury sedans are mid-sized, luxury sedans are known to be large. However, there are a couple of exceptions regarding a car's price and size limitations. 

Station Wagons
Families who actively go out in road trips and adventures usually look for station wagons, sport utility vehicles, or minivans. However, most families all over the globe always have their priorities on station wagons compared to the others. This is because it provides lower insurance rates, has more gas mileage and stability, and the size of its interiors are similar to that of an SUV. Minivans have now started to have a good handle and drive, but SUVs still need more improvement.

Convertibles
Sports cars are very popular convertibles. This means they usually have two seats, superior handling and impressive engines with high-performance. However, car brands like Ford, Mitsubishi, and Chrysler now offer "normal" four-seater convertibles with convertible tops that have the regular production coupes. Like all other types of cars, there are also luxury convertibles, and these include brands like BMW, Saab, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz. These cars are particularly great for perfect weather. Otherwise, it can show apparent drawbacks. 

Vans
If you're usually transporting huge volumes of cargo or into outings with all your relatives and friends, then the vehicle to opt for is a full-size van. You can choose from having windows or none, and their payload capacities can reach one ton. Fifteen adult passengers can fit extended vans. Their engines of 8 or 10 cylinders can give these vehicles enough strength to tow hefty sizes of trailers and boats.

Buying a car for yourself is costly enough. Add up all the maintenance it needs and the other hidden costs, and you'll surely be crying your wallet out. Invest in auto insurance, and you'll find yourself relieved from the bumps and accidents your car will experience.
