In fact, if you only travel in urban areas, you should choose a small, automatic and fuel-efficient car to facilitate your commuting on crowded roads or in traffic jams. If you plan to go to the mountains or highlands, the best choice is a manual car featuring the oil machine and high chassis. The best car should be the SUV or pickup truck.
