At Bosak Honda near La Porte County, we specialize in new Honda cars, but realize there are a lot of different vehicles on the market. The question of what car to buy can be tough to answer in today’s marketplace. Here’s our advice on how to determine what car is best for you.
Deciding By Size
One of the easiest ways to narrow down your selection is to think about your size needs. If you’re a solo commuter needing to get around town, you could easily do well with a small car like the 2015 Honda Fit that’s affordable and fuel efficient. A family with one or two kids could get by in a compact or midsize sedan or hatchback while larger families might want a crossover or an SUV. Just keep in mind how many people you’ll realistically need to transport and how much stuff you’ll need to move..
Features
Another way of selecting a car is to think about what features you want. If you’re someone who always likes to be connected to their phone, you'll want a Bluetooth-enabled infotainment system. All Honda models currently come standard with Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and a display screen. When comparing similar models take a look at the standard features to see if the car offers what you need..
Set a Budget
Times are tight for many Americans right now, so it's very important to figure out how much you can afford early on. If you can’t find a new car that meets your needs in your price range, then start looking around in the used market. Leasing may also be a good option for you too..
What Are Your Driving Needs?
Some people have money to splurge on a fun car, but most of us have to think about if a car will be useful year round. If you live in La Porte County, you’ll need a car that will drive well in snow and rain. Think about the type of driving you do: around town on the highway. Do you need to tow a trailer? Will this fit in my garage at home? Think about the things you wish your current car could do..
