As a Realtor, I always
point out the importance of creating your prioritized top 10 list of
amenities you seek in a home purchase – ingredients for number of
bedrooms, number of bathrooms, size of lot, garage or not, location
(neighbourhood), older or newer, big eat-in kitchen or formal dining
room or both, bungalow or back split or traditional two-storey, and
your top dollar you can spend based on your income and your comfort
level (and what you have been pre-qualified for).
Now, if you were going
to purchase a family car, would you not want the same idea?
The website
www.wheels.ca,
which is part of the Toronto Star family of publications (printed or
on the internet or both) has determined its list of leading features
which includes storage space, the ease of installing children's
seats, safety air bags, built-in entertainment features such as TV
and DVD, and some true convenience abilities such as keyless starting
and automatic sliding doors.
The featured Toronto Star article is
by mom Miriam Porter and she says:
“Your
days of reckless sport cars and sexy convertibles are over. As a
parent you seek safety, security, easy access and lots and lots of
room. . .
In
search of other criteria that parents look for in a family car I
polled numerous friends, acquaintances and parents in baby groups,
many with two or three kids, some with four.
With
this information I compiled a list of the top ten things many parents
consider before purchasing a new family car.”
The extensive lists on
the Toronto Star site include comparisons of fuel efficiency, car
styles, luxury sedans, best green car, best off-road, best pick-up
truck and certainly top overall car by the various contributing
pundits / reviewers / test drivers.
Also easily discovered
on their website is a story which recognizes Toyota (including TMMC
in Woodstock which builds the RAV4) for its 'green' initiatives. The link is also below and
notes other successes of Toyota including the landmark day in
September of 2014 when the company rolled out its 6,000,000 car
manufactured in Canada.
With highlights noted
on the recent international car show in Toronto, the www.wheels.ca
site also navigates car buffs and buyers to trends, modifications,
and improvements in the countless makes and models, but also includes
hundreds of car reviews by dozens of writers. The reviews are
important as the site also assists car buyers by looking at previous
model years and their re-sale positives and negatives.
I didn't want to complete this writing by simply mentioning Toyota locally, so there are links below to
Equinox (pictured below) updates as well, including the massive investment GM is
making in the Ingersoll CAMI facility.
