You can choose a car that fits your needs, whether it's a compact car for easy manoeuvrability in traffic or a larger vehicle for more space and comfort. You can also consider a car equipped with modern safety features such as airbags, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for added safety on the roads.
