The main reasons that influence the decision on the final choice of a car

There are about 350 to 400 new models released every year by car manufacturers. If we now multiply by previous years, then we find that there is an incredibly large number of models on the market. THE car purchase is an important decision and needs to be well researched before it final choice of a model. According to data from the American research company, JD Power, the quality and reliability of the vehicle have been at the top of preferences for many years, while we should not forget other factors such as safety and the resale value of a vehicle.

The first thing someone who wants to buy a car should do is decide on the size and type of vehicle they want to get. That is, he will have to decide whether he wants to get an SUV or a sedan or a hatchback or a coupe or a convertible.

As they demonstrate data from JD Power, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), some vehicles are better than others in certain areas. In addition to ratings related to reliability, quality, appearance, fuel economy and safety, there can be other data that will play a role in choosing a model. For example, if you will need to carry more than five people in the car, or if the car needs to tow or carry something heavy, which means a high-torque engine or four-wheel drive solution will be needed.

After the driver has decided what kind of vehicle he wants, the next issue is the cost of getting it. This is an important factor that largely determines the range of options. The overall budget is what limits his options overall, resulting in the final decision being focused on just a few models.

THE vehicle evaluation is something that, according to JD Power, influences the final choice. Model awards also showed that they also play a role in the final decision, with a large percentage of drivers placing a lot of weight on resale value. This factor is important, while even the color of a car is included in the criteria that determine the resale value.

Car manufacturers spend billions of euros every year to give their models specific features and high levels of safety. All driver assistance systems reduce accident rates and provide solutions to potential driver distractions while driving, while on the other hand increasing the price of a model. The stars of a test (such as EuroNCAP) or the reviews of experienced drivers, journalists or car testers play their part in the final decision.

Finally, in the last two years another important factor is the delivery time of new cars. Month-long delays keep customers on hold, discouraging them from making a final decision.
