Station wagon or sedan: which car is right for you?

A car has long been a necessity for a modern person. Having your own vehicle opens up new prospects and allows you to move freely at any time and to the right place. Therefore, many Ukrainians try to buy a car to increase their comfort. Among our citizens, renting cars for the required period is also common. People buying a car often have a natural question: which car to choose so that it combines all the required features and options? Undoubtedly, each buyer pays attention to the main technical features when choosing:

• year of manufacture;
• engine capacity and power;
• the ability to run on alternative types of fuel;
• gearbox type;
• cost.

These criteria are considered the main ones when choosing, but experienced drivers are sure to also pay attention to the type of body in which the vehicle is made. People's preferences vary widely, but practice shows that the most popular are station wagons and sedans.

What to choose: a sedan or a station wagon for family trips

These cars are quite comfortable and have many options to increase comfort. But there are some fundamental differences between them. To accurately determine which one to pay attention to, you need to consider some factors:

1. How many people need to be transported, and what is the volume of luggage needed to be transported.
2. Are you planning frequent trips to nature, out of town, trips on dirt roads, or just driving around the city.
3. The presence of parking cells in likely places of stay.

When choosing a sedan or station wagon for transporting a family, it is better to opt for a station wagon. Such a car is equipped with a spacious trunk, which can be increased if necessary by folding the rear seats. These cars are characterized by good stability on the road in bad weather due to the extended body. They are often much more economical than others. To feel the advantages of a station wagon, you can rent a car (Kiev or another city in Ukraine) for a test drive.

Station wagon or sedan for long trips?

Sedans have proven themselves as cars for comfortable city trips. They usually have an ergonomic design and an attractive appearance. But low ground clearance significantly complicates movement in places with damaged road surfaces. These cars have limited interior and trunk space, but are designed to make long trips pleasant and not tiring. Such cars are able to satisfy the highest aesthetic and practical demands.

What is better: a sedan or a station wagon for beginners in driving

Station wagons have an elongated body, so when using such a car without parking sensors, beginners may have problems with parking. A sedan usually has slightly smaller dimensions and will be more convenient for first trips. If before the moment of purchase you have not yet decided exactly whether you want to buy a sedan or a station wagon, then it will be convenient to use the service car rental in Odessa or in other cities to try driving a particular car.
