#1 Careful in Choosing a Vehicle

Many people end up with the wrong car because they don't carefully check the specifications.

Usually beginners in buying a car only check the body and engine, or maybe just tempted by the cheap price.

In fact, usually the price is a fairly strong indicator of quality. Well, to prevent this, here are some tips in choosing a vehicle:

1. Choose the type according to your needs ( city car, SUV, family car , etc.)
2. What are the specifications and quality like? Is it just launched or has the quality been proven in the market?
3. Is the price worth the quality? Is there a more suitable alternative?
4. Is the price according to your financial capabilities?
5. Also pay attention to the cost of service and spare parts , taxes, and others

Do not let carelessness make you a big regret, because the price of a car is not cheap. At least hundreds of millions of rupiah are needed for this type of vehicle.

#2 Who is the Vehicle For?

The second question you need to ask yourself before deciding to choose a car is “Who is the vehicle intended for?”

For example, if you are single , of course, you need a different vehicle from those who are married. For example, family cars are usually larger in size.

#3 Prioritize Safety and Comfort

If you have a family, of course the vehicle is not only limited to protecting yourself from the rain and hot sun. The selected vehicle must be proven to be safe and comfortable.

For example, a car must be able to accommodate the number of passengers and luggage that is usually carried.

Some of the main characteristics of multi-functional vehicles that are often used as family cars include the following:

• Large passenger capacity
• Spacious cabin size
• Comfortable, safe, and functional for families
• There are entertainment features (radio or TV) for your little ones

#4 Fuel Consumption (Efficient or Not Car)

Honestly, of course, fuel is one of the main burdens in owning a vehicle.

How come? The cost of fuel is increasing over time, coupled with the recent traffic jams, of course, the use of fuel is increasingly wasteful.

Thus, it is important to check the fuel consumption of a car before you decide to buy it.

It's true that a car with great power definitely requires more fuel too, but check your needs again. Do not let you choose a super -powered car even though the power requirement is not really needed.

#5 Choosing a Good Design

Apart from its function, the car must also be beautiful to look at. But usually people's tastes about vehicles are different. There are those who like the elegant and luxurious type, there are also those who like the cute and compact design . 

For those of you who are still confused about what kind of vehicle is right for you, try asking again what type of person you are. Also consider that the design of the car chosen is quite general, so that it can then be sold again at a fairly high price.

#6 Has Security and Safety Features

It doesn't matter who the car is used for, alone or with family, of course, safety and security come first. No parent wants their child to have an accident, right?

Thus, you should check some of the driving safety features as follows:

2. seat belt accessories
