There are many factors one must take into consideration when making such a large purchase like an SUV. A lot of questions come to mind when you have to make a decision to plunk down at the very least 20K to buy a new one unless you care considering a used SUV it can be less. In this economy it's a must to really think about what you are getting with an SUV.
One of the first things you must ask yourself about buying an SUV is why and what am I using it for? Consider what SUVs are intended for: most have awd and some are made to go off road. Are you using this car as an urban commute car or around the city car? Do you live in the Mountains? In an area where there is a lot of snow in the winter? Do you work on a farm? Do you go skiing a lot?
If you are city person think about the costs of city driving and finding parking with a larger vehicle. Sure you can carry the kids around and go on big shopping trips but is it worth the cost of gas? The time wasted trying to find the right spot to street park. Probably not in the end even if you have a hybrid SUV.
In reality the SUV and the city don't mix and it's silly to think differently about it. What a waste not to use a vehicle for what it was made for! The perfect place for this type of car is the mountains. It is built perfectly for those type rural areas have to offer bad roads, bad weather, and plenty of off road driving to be had. The gas may cost you but you won't get stuck in the mud or snow with a good SUV.
You'll also feel a little safer if you happen to have a deer crash into you. If you ask these questions before purchasing an SUV and do your research you'll be able to make an informed decision about which car is right for you.
