With today’s high gas prices many car buyers are seriously considering compact cars as a viable option. While at one time compact cars were often looked at as being unsafe or uncomfortable, today both safety and comfort are available in an array of compact vehicle options.

 

Your Greensboro Honda offers the following information to help you decide if a compact car is right for you.

 

High Safety Standards

Safety options have greatly improved over the years for compact cars. Today’s safety options include front and side airbags, antilock brakes, stability and traction control and safety cage protection.

 

Roomy Interiors

While compact cars are smaller, that does not necessarily mean you will be uncomfortable while traveling in one.  Today’s designs offer roomy interiors and most owners find them to be more than adequate when it comes to driver and passenger comfort ability. Taller drivers may need to test drive a few models to find a compact car that will be right for them.

 

High Gas Mileage

Many consider fuel efficiency to be the biggest benefit when it comes to switching to a compact car. There is no question that filling up at the pump will be easier on your pocketbook. Less fuel is needed to run compact cars and depending on what you were previously driving you will most likely see a significant savings in your gasoline bill.
