Do you need some new car buying advice on how to choose the right vehicle type for your needs? Begin by asking yourself these 5 basic questions:

1. How many seats do you need?
Most vehicles can carry up to five people comfortably. If you want to carry more, you should buy a car with a third row seat. This includes minivans, some SUVs, and a few wagons. Depending on the design, these vehicles can carry up to eight people. A few vehicles achieve a six passenger capacity by using a three person front-bench seat.

2. How much room do you need?
Most cars have a trunk that can accommodate luggage. For carrying more items, many vehicles also have a rear seat that folds down. Some sedans have a front passenger seat that can fold flat to make it easier to carry extra-long items.
