Ready to Upgrade to a Family Sized Car?
At some point in every family’s life, you are going to realize that there is no more room in your car. This could be due to car seats taking over the back seat or your kid’s gear exploding out of the trunk whenever you have to pack them up. No matter what your reason for upgrading to a larger family vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks, the team at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC is here to help. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin the car shopping process.

Look for Something Safe
Obviously, safety is a huge priority when shopping for a vehicle. This is generally one of the most important things to look out when car shopping. Thankfully, standards are getting better every single year, so newer vehicles have a much better safety rating. If you have questions about the safety of a vehicle, please come and talk with us. We can answer questions and help you narrow down the safest car for your growing family.Think About Space
This is probably one of the factors that made you start looking for a new vehicle, to begin with. Traveling with kids can mean a ton of equipment. Strollers, playpens, several bags for clothes and diapers, and let's not forget the car seat! If you have more than one child, the amount of tolls grows even more. Think about the items that you carry as you are car shopping. Are you thinking about having more kids in the next few years? This can also affect the size of the vehicle that you choose. You’ll want to make sure there is room for the additional car seat. |

Is It Fuel Efficient?
If you’re upgrading from a smaller vehicle, chances are that the fuel efficiency could be sticker shock. When you’re looking at new family vehicles, take time to look into the fuel efficiency. A young family will be driving a lot, as trips to and from school and extracurricular activities can mean a large commute.Cameras and Sensors
A larger vehicle generally comes with many more blind spots. Even with all of the technology, there will still be areas that you can’t see on your own, which is why sensors and cameras come in handy. This isn’t just a benefit for safe driving - with children running around, cameras and sensors can be invaluable. They aren’t 100% accident proof, but a reverse camera can reduce your risk of backing up into something or someone.Climate Control
Lake summers can get steamy, and winters can get chilled. While looking around for the perfect vehicle, consider the climate control. You’ll want the appropriate temperature to be able to reach all areas of the car for the most comfortable travel experience. |

It’s Time to Upgrade
As we get closer to the holiday season, it can be a wonderful time to upgrade your vehicle. Not only will weather become a factor (so you’ll want something that can handle the roads well), but you’ll be packing your family up many times over the next several weeks. Your vehicle will need to be able to go over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house, all while carrying three car seats, one playpen, one stroller, and two pieces of luggage per person! We know you have high standards for your next Lake of the Ozarks vehicle, which is why we want to help you find exactly what you need. Take a look at our website to see what’s on the lot right now, or stop by. You can take some for a test drive and explore the features that you’re looking for.
