How many times have you driven across the country or a state line? Or do you dream just driving your wits out, windows down, music blaring in the air, the sun hitting your face? Well, all the time, isn’t it? For freaks who love to drive, this is like a tradition that’s getting popular by the year. Just like drive-in movie halls have transformed into multiplexes, similarly even vehicles have evolved according to the changing needs of the driver.

Today you’ll see lots of pickups, SUVs and convertibles, unlike the past years when people usually thought of renting a ‘fun’ car rather than going in their own.

Present times are witnessing people buzzing to buy their own vehicles, whether a sports or a luxury wheel, because they not only find it comforting but economical as well.

The idea is to buy a four-wheeler that can happily fulfill all the requirements an owner is seeking. Thus the right car is just what helps you do what you intend to, the best way. Since most of us go in for fuel efficiency along with smooth driving, the so called cross over vehicles are the best choices. These automobiles combine the features of a car with those of a sedan, minivan or a sport utility vehicle and are gaining great popularity, the world over. The automobile gurus quote that, “They are the widest, most imaginative group of vehicles to enjoy in the history of the industry”. Some vehicles that fall into this category include the Pontiac Vibe, Subaru Baja, Honda Element, Scion xB, Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Matrix, and Chevrolet Avalanche. Talking of prices, they cover an exhaustive range from under $15,000 to well over $40,000.

However, in vehicles like these, there need to be kept some safety issues in mind since they are taller than the normal produce. Hence Rollovers form to be a major concern for these convertibles. They tend to be slower to respond to driver inputs because they are heavier than your average sedan but they have come a long way. Unlike the earlier versions where they almost rattled on the roads, they are not better built, with better suspensions, and are much safer. Most also offer electronic driving aids like anti-lock brakes and electronic stability systems.

Thus we see that there is something for everyone in this super thrilling world of cars. You have all your fantasies answered in these versions, not to mention the custom-built makes that are also available. Indeed, the wheels are finally on a roll!
