The Amazing Benefits Of A Minivan


The Amazing Benefits Of A Minivan

Winston Takeda
October 24, 2012


If you are shopping for a new car, then there's a lot of things to consider. Family car, sedan, sports car, SUV, motorcycle, van, minivan, motorhome, there's no end to the possibilities. And every single car out there has it's own advantages and disadvantages. That's precisely why you need to do some thinking before heading out to the car lot. Walking onto the car lot with some vague ideas of what kind of car you want to buy will only land you in a heap of trouble.

A hot shot salesperson will see you as a mild mannered sheep and swoop in to sell you the highest price car on the lot. Sure, they'll talk a good game, and may even convince you to buy the car. Then you'll drive it home and be happy. But whose happiness will it be? Yours, as defined by you and your wants and needs? Or the salesperson's, driven by his or desire to earn a big fat commission by pulling the wool over your eyes?

Naturally, this thinking takes some time. You'll want to think about your needs, and which kind of car will best be served by them. This isn't easy. That's why it can be of great benefit to follow the decision making process of many people just like you. And that is to buy a minivan.

Hold the phone, a minivan? I can hear you thinking. Aren't those for soccer moms and religious cults? Not really. Minivans are becoming the new SUVs. With the price of gas going higher and higher, and more and more companies scrambling to come up with hybrid cars to compete with increasingly eco-conscious consumers, the minivan is becoming the obvious choice for many reasons.

One of these is that it seats just as many people as an SUV. But what about the safety factor? Aren't SUVs the safest cars around? Well, with increasing airbag technology, minivans are considered just as safe as SUVs. That means there's no reason to shell out all that extra cash to be surrounded by steel when you don't need to.

Also, consider how much money you'd be spending on gas should you get an SUV. Do you really want to spend an extra hundred bucks a week in gas so you can look cool to your neighbors? I suppose that's an option for the one percent, but I suspect that's not you.

So that's precisely why many people are setting their sites on minivans. Their fun, their popular, they're safe, and they'll save you a ton of cash. Why not buy one today?
