2nd car of the house | Buying considerations & factors considered?
It has become not so uncommon for families to have 2 or more cars, so I was thinking about what would be the right mix of vehicles for the majority. May be we can classify our requirements as city utility vs highway utility.
For city requirement - comfort, stability, convenience, driving pleasure matters to a very limited extent owing to the increasing traffic density across all cities in India, and the traffic will go up only. So I feel any car, with decent AC, can suit for city purpose. Some may be wary about the size, but size does not matter once we are used to the vehicle and even parking can be managed. After all we may be driving a 5 mtr car in place of 4 mtr car, but its not 15 mtr car. So parking worries are just our mental barricades. Infact driving a big bulky THAR may make others give way and would be better than driving small cars in city. And not to forget the better visibility. Also, smaller colony roads have craters and may be better tackled using a high ground clearance vehicle.
