CAR-BUYING QUESTIONS

Should I get an SUV or a sedan?

Choose a sedan if you mostly drive yourself or one passenger and value efficiency, handling and a lower price; choose an SUV if you need more cargo flexibility, a higher seating position, easier car-seat access or available all-wheel drive. Sedans often cost less to buy, insure and fuel than similar-size SUVs, while SUVs make hauling bulky items easier. Sit in both, load your real gear, and compare total cost, not just sticker price, before deciding.
