Is it appropriate to buy an MPV as the first car in the family?

Let’s talk about me first. Last year, I considered buying a 7-seater car for use. The reason is very simple. Neither my two children nor my two elderly people know how to drive. I will take my car with me every month. When traveling as a family, buying a car with more space will make it more comfortable to use!

I have looked at all self-owned brand MPVs with a budget of less than 200,000. To be honest, self-owned brands still have a lot to learn on the MPV road! The sound insulation and noise reduction are really bad, and the value retention rate of second-hand cars of independent brands is really cruel!

Seeing that the budget for the joint venture brand was not enough, I started researching second-hand cars. There were only a few MPV models, such as GL8, Odyssey, Alison, and Touran. I didn’t cut the price if the price was too high, and then I began to exclude car models, and the first one I passed was the Touran. I really don’t like all Volkswagen’s cars, with their cookie-cutter styling. Isn’t this designer taking too much trouble? The Odyssey Alison is actually about the same. All my friends drive it. To be honest, it is not as good as some domestic cars in terms of sound insulation and noise reduction. I really don’t know what Honda thinks! In the end, only the GL8 was left, and then we started looking for a car! I looked at all the GL8 models, and finally concluded that the most cost-effective one currently is the 3.0 top version of the 14 models, which has relatively high configurations. The car is about 5 years old. The few years when American cars have the least value for their money have passed. The year 40 A car worth over RMB 170,000, but now a second-hand car only costs around RMB 170,000!

There are many sources of GL8 cars, but most of them are from corporate owners. Don’t think that corporate owners are not good. The mileage will indeed be higher, but the company’s car maintenance will definitely keep up. The mileage of personal cars is not necessarily low, and personal cars are generally used relatively slowly. I looked at a car and there was a rotten apple under the second row of seats. . .

In addition, there is a lot of car meter adjustment. Company cars run a lot, and it is easier to sell if the meter is adjusted. If there is no problem with the car's condition, don't worry about it!

Finally, I found a 15-year-old car. When it came to the final transaction of 170,000 yuan, it has been used for 7 months. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 11 liters. The various configurations are relatively high, so it is convenient for the family to go out. It's comfortable. It may be difficult to park in urban areas, but it feels very stable when driving. I haven't had any problems in the past few months of use.

Returning to your question, in fact, buying an MPV really has nothing to do with which car it is. I have 4 cars at a time, GL8, 530, old A6L and my wife’s 120i. The company can keep one car, and the other cars are used at home. The GL8 is never used for business receptions or anything else, it is just used for taking family members out!

In fact, it is good to choose an MPV for your first car. Why do you say this? Many families now have two cars. The first one is mostly a sedan, and the second one is an MPV or medium to large one. SUV.

Just for consideration, sometimes the family travels and it is convenient to ride. Especially in terms of ride comfort, MPV is the most comfortable and has a lot of space.

MPV is a very good choice for daily travel and business reception. In this way, if it is a car, you will also consider buying an MPV later, which can save costs.

With the country’s liberalization of second-child policy, more and more families are choosing MPV models.

You can pay attention to the Buick GL8 Avenir version released on April 12, which is available in 4-seat, 6-seat, and 7-seat versions. The Avenir version is the high-end model of Buick GL8.

The Buick GL8 ES and the new upgraded GL8 are to be released on May 4.

Prices range from more than 200,000 to more than 500,000. I believe that if you choose an MPV, the Buick GL8 is still worth owning.

I am currently driving a seven-seater Touran, and I would like to share with you my thoughts on choosing a car. Let me start with the car itself. Mine is the only car used by my family. When buying, consider safety, power, fuel consumption, and space as much as possible. Actually, I don’t have a second child. There are very few opportunities for the four elderly people in the family to travel at the same time. But I still chose a seven-seater car because a seven-seater car has more expandability than a 5-seater or 6-seater car.

And in the case of the most commonly used five-seater, it can also guarantee a huge trunk space. So without considering that it is normal for seven-seaters to be fully occupied, I will not consider MPVs such as gl8. The economy of this type of car is still poor, and it is a bit wasteful to travel for daily work. Under the same circumstances, why wouldn’t I choose a seven-seat SUV? Actually it’s because of the space. Comparing SUVs and mpvs of the same level. When the height of the vehicle body is almost the same. MPVs have higher interior vertical space than SUVs. This makes me feel that driving an MPV is more comfortable than an SUV. This Touran is also the third car I have purchased in the past 10 years. After using two more cars, I chose a family MPV based on my own needs. Considering the price factor, BYD's Song Max and my Touran are basically products of the same level. More affordable. It is enough to meet household needs and a few seven-seater emergency uses.

If you want to buy it, I have been buying sedans and SUVs, but in the end, the MPV is comfortable to drive even if you don’t pull too many people, and it is comfortable to sit and cost-effective for pulling people to pull things in one step.

It’s very good It’s suitable and comfortable for you and your family to ride in the car.

I feel that if the MPV is the first car in the family, I think it still needs some courage, because if you usually drive it to and from get off work, driving such a big car alone may be a big deal in the eyes of friends and colleagues. It's different, and it's not that convenient to compete with others for parking spaces. But if it is used as the second or even third car at home, there is nothing wrong with keeping it at home for fun and taking the children on trips. A friend of mine originally owned a car, but later bought a Tourio after giving birth to a daughter. Anyway, it was very convenient to pack a lot of baby supplies when taking the children out for the first time. It was also convenient to take care of two children, and the later children were older. It’s also great to take the whole family on a trip.

For family cars, MPV is a very good choice.

If you buy an MPV as your first car, it will be smarter to get it right in one step.

It is recommended that you buy the Dongfeng Honda Alison hybrid version.

Look at demand, money and parking spaces

I am also looking at MVP. I'm thinking of ordering a Senna for now.

Suitable for family use is the most important thing.
