Written by Abdelrahman Hamdy Akl

Automotive professionals and enthusiasts employ multiple methods to classify the diverse range of vehicles present on American roads. For the average consumer, selecting the most suitable vehicle can be a challenging task. Frequently, customers rely on sentimental preferences and recommendations from others, rather than traditional methods of vehicle classification when purchasing a new set of wheels

This article is designed to assist typical car buyers in selecting a vehicle that aligns best with their requirements. It accomplishes this by categorizing the wide array of vehicles on the market based on different criteria, including overall exterior dimensions, seating capacity and interior dimensions, reliability, body construction (unibody vs. body on frame), manufacturing time period with common failures and technologies, engine and powertrain options, and country of origin. It is crucial for buyers to take all these factors into account when making a vehicle purchase. Failure to adhere to certain guidelines, even after considering these factors, can result in significant financial and emotional setbacks.
