The modern domestic and foreign automotive market offers models for every taste, color and wallet. The most important thing is to observe the golden rule: I studied using a manual transmission - for the first few years, drive a mechanical one and do not change to an automatic transmission.
Since parents send their children to study a few months before the age of eighteen, then there is no need to choose which car the parents will give on that one and will drive. Having studied at a more mature age, the choice of the first car is approached more carefully.
The first thing that comes to mind is Audi, Porsche, BMW, but this is the wrong choice. A novice driver, even having money to buy, will only think about how not to scratch the car, and not about the situation on the road. Paying attention to old, cheap, used cars is also not worth it. If the car breaks down on the road, then the beginner simply will not know what to do and can wait for help for several hours.
The choice of the first vehicle should be based on the purpose of its operation. For city driving, a small car with low fuel consumption is suitable. It is difficult to develop high speed within the city limits and a powerful car will simply be useless, just an extra expense of money. Also, a car with a large number of horses, for the most part, has large dimensions, which is inconvenient for small parking areas.
For country trips and travel, it is better to choose an all-wheel drive and roomy car. You can always put more things in a big car, sleep on a long trip. All-wheel drive will provide cross-country ability on any road.
A small van will be useful for families with children. It has a large luggage space and can accommodate both children and adults. The choice of a new vehicle's equipment should be based on personal preference and the means available. It is not necessary to stuff the car with everyone. All of these additional options can be distracting as well as consumables. Competently approach the choice of the first car, to a large extent safety and ride comfort will depend on it.
