3. Be practical- look at your needs
It’s great to daydream and aspire for the best makes and models in the market including the latest 2015 Miata roadster or an Audi, but remember to think in practical terms when deciding on one. Focus on function, reliability and safety instead of flash. Prepare a checklist to guide you when deciding on the best car for your personal or family needs. For example, how many passengers do you regularly expect and do you need larger cargo space? What type of driving do you expect, and is fuel efficiency a critical factor for you? What safety features do you require, and you plan to move your family or a lot of cargo?
