Chevrolet makes sense for America more than advertising rhetoric in today's marketplace Chevrolet provides a clear direction based on designing different cars for different people this sound concept has resulted in traditional Chevrolet leadership and acceptability to the point where more people buy chevrolet products than any other in response to the significant trend toward smaller cars chevrolet vega offers a full line of little cars for people whose needs coincide with the concept of an economical little car in other words it makes sense for some people to own and drive a little car as their principal vehicle for others however the principal vehicle in the household must serve a variety of needs that transcend the capabilities of most smaller cars in many cases this is where a full-sized car could be the best choice a close analogy is the overwhelming preference for four bedroom homes over anything else in the residential home market there are very strong reasons for full-sized room and comfort in automobiles as well in an effort to put the matters of size and economy into perspective take a few minutes to evaluate your automotive needs in light of the following considerations are you or any members of your family above average in height if you or members of your family require a spacious interior you may find the limited parameters for Headroom and legroom in some smaller cars inadequate for your needs low height and limited door opening dimensions may limit ease of entry for larger or older persons in the front seat area in a full-size Chevrolet however wide door openings together with generous Headroom and legroom dimensions allow the large tall or elderly person plenty of room for easier front seat entry and the more comfortable feeling of spaciousness are there more than four persons in your family or do you frequently carry additional passengers in your car some smaller cars are rated for no more than four occupants and in some cases two occupants for larger families the smaller car often proves inadequate families find the full-size Chevrolet sedan or station wagon a recognized family vehicle with seating room for up to eight adults in the wagon do you ever haul large bulky items relatively limited trunk capacity in many smaller cars becomes readily apparent when fitting a power lawnmower or other large bulky items a full-size Chevrolet however has a large trunk with over 18 cubic feet capacity more than enough for luggage groceries and most other bulky household items do you plan on any brief family trips some smaller cars are rated at capacity with a family of four inside and relatively few pieces of luggage in the trunk Chevrolet's full-size Impala offers a large trunk for a weekend full of fun and a roomy interior for extended travel comfort full coil spring suspension strategically placed rubber body mounts and thick sound insulating material help handle rough roads for more comfortable enjoyment of the countryside is your car used to tow a camper boat or travel trailer since many smaller cars have small engines and unit body construction with little frame work to support a trailer hitch the amount of trailer weight they can securely tow may be limited to less than your present trailering requirements full-size Chevrolet passenger cars and wagons make excellent trailering vehicles when equipped with recommended Chevrolet equipment to meet your individual trailering needs and by trailering closer to home you can save fuel and still enjoy your recreational investment what about security features every full-size Chevrolet begins with a solid full perimeter Frane then the added protection from side impact of side guard door beams plus the cargo guard rear barrier to help keep what's in the trunk in the trunk behind the front and rear bumpers hydraulic pistons act like shock absorbers to help cushion minor impact add to this the new pillared roof design in many full-size Chevrolet models together with a double panel steel roof and it all adds up to a feeling of comfort and security are you giving up standard full-sized equipment to gain economy equipment that's optional on many smaller cars is standard on a full-size Chevrolet turbo hydra-matic transmission power steering and power front disc brakes the equipment many people prefer when buying a new car is all standard on full sized Chevrolet's combined with available steel-belted radial ply tires and cruise master speed control full-size Chevrolet's can provide a viable alternative for those whose needs exceed what many smaller cars offer to help augment fuel economy ask for your free copy of the booklet fuel economy and factors that influence fuel economy where the following fuel saving driving tips are outlined by following these suggestions with a full-size Chevrolet you can continue to enjoy the benefits and flexibility a full-size car can offer add to this Chevrolet's traditional value features and over six thousand dealers across the US and you begin to see why Chevrolet makes sense for America
