Cars

What makes a car good? Does a car have to be fast to be the best car? In this article I want to try to narrow down what people think makes a good car. Cars are usually put into three main categories, speed, reliability, and gas mileage.

First is the speed of the car. Everything with a car comes down to how fast we can get this vehicle to go with the least amount of gas consumption. Some cars can go so fast that the company who made that car has set a computer in the vehicle to stop giving gas at or around 120 mph. In reality why would we buy a car that can go that fast? The buyer will most likely not ever get the vehicle up that high in speed. Yet the buyer will buy his vehicle for its potential, not for what they will actually use it for.

Second is reliability of the car they are buying. This is a very good reason to buy a car. Nobody knows how long your certain car will last but they know from the track record of other people with the same vehicle. Yet this is not a practical reason to buy the car. Unless you are buying off a person who has previously owned the car. Otherwise you are buying a new or used car from the dealer. These dealers will often times give you deals, such as for 10 years any problem with the car will be fixed by them. With that kind of deal the car dealership will not want to sell you a car that will break 

down often.

Finally is the gas mileage of the car. This should be what you put a lot of your thought into when buying a car. This is because you will probably have to pay for it. This all comes down to can you afford the gas. That simple matter varies from person to person. Also you have to account for the rise of gas prices. A lot of people will buy a truck when gas prices are low, and this is because they can afford it. Yet when those gas prices start going up, guess what it is now time to trade in that truck.

So whether you buy for speed, reliability, or gas mileage. Any car that you buy will most likely be a good car. Or not.
