Big Cars vs. Small Cars Benefits

posted in General |

I will admit, I never really cared for the SUV, in my opinion a large gas-guzzler that takes up entirely too much of the road.

Over the years though, they’ve gotten quite a bit smaller and much more quaint (e.g. girl term for cute). I imagine there are all types of reasons for the changes — gas prices for one, an attributing factor making the once overly popular gas machine far less appealing.

Just recently my mom opted to buy one, yes she finally made a decision (more on that later) and ended up with a Toyota Rav 4, and boy is it cute (e.g. girl term for well, cute).

While roomy enough for five easily, big bodied young men included, it still has a small feel. When driving it recently I didn’t feel at all like I did when I drove the Ford Truck I owned some years ago, which I loved by the way.

The difference is when I was in my truck, which was only occasionally as opposed to daily, I wanted that “big ride feel” as I manipulated the roads and dared others to challenge me on it. But when it comes down to car preferences, I still prefer the smaller sized car, although like anything else they have some advantages and disadvantages, so here I’ve listed just a few of the benefits attached to driving either, depending on Your preference:

Benefits of Driving a Smaller Vehicle
1. Small cars fit neatly and indiscreetly on the road.
2. Great for singles, loners, and those that travel light.
3. They’re the best things since sliced bread since gas topped $4.00 a gallon
4. They’re compact, cozy, and cute.
5. A small car does sporty much better than larger sized cars.

Benefits of Driving a Larger Vehicle
1. Larger cars work well for large families and socials that do most of the driving
2. They’re roomier and great for long-legged future athletes.
3. You don’t have to give up the front seat because those long-legged future athletes can sit comfortably in the back.
4. Large cars are great ego-boosters when you need to feel in control.
5. You don’t have a problem finding used tires — smaller used tires are practically obsolete these days.

    Save gas and get that smaller car. It’ll save you tons of money over the years as the prices of gas are going up. One thing you can’t prevent are repairs, maintenance and auto body work.
