How to Choose Car Configurations When Buying a Car?
1 Answers
When buying a car, you can select configurations based on three aspects: safety, operational convenience, and others. First, consider safety-related configurations. Next are some high-tech features inside the car that make operations simpler, more convenient, and more user-friendly. Finally, there are some completely useless configurations. The details are as follows: 1. Safety configurations: Not all safety features are worth purchasing. For example, the number of airbags is very useful. Current car models generally come standard with four airbags—two in the front to protect the driver and front passenger, and two in the rear to protect backseat passengers. Volvo, known for its safety, offers some models with nearly thirty airbags and curtains. This level of protection is undoubtedly different from that of just four airbags. 2. Practical configurations: Features like tire pressure monitoring, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ABS+EBD, rearview cameras, and dash cams can make driving simpler and more convenient. 3. Meaningless configurations: The automatic headlight cleaning function is the first to come to mind. It’s estimated that 90% of people have never used it. Other examples include hill descent control, brake assist, adaptive headlights, and built-in navigation—all of which are more flashy than practical. Ultimately, the choice of configurations should depend on the car owner’s personal preferences and usual driving environment. What one person finds useless, another might highly appreciate.
