We’re all knew that celebrity own huge money, but are they do smart spending when purchase a car ?
Ferraris, Bentleys, more Ferraris…that’s all well and good for single celebrities, or celebrities that have kids but lack visitation rights, but what about all those celebrity parents that need more than just a passenger seat?
What is the most important reason when celebrity parent purchase a car ? Especially when entirely drove the car with their precious children.
The unique safety feature is the number-one concern.The cars must performed strongly in government and industry crash tests, and manufacturer obligate to offer the latest safety technologies to keep the celebrity parent and their little ones secure. Other reasons are maximum seating, crash test rating (front driver/passenger, out of 5 stars), combined mileage (highway/city average) and base price.
Celebrity parents mostly prefer Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). The Top 3 choices for the SUVs are Land Rover Range Rover,Cadilac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The Range Rover is a technological wonder when it comes to off-roading, but the most difficult maneuvers most of these will ever see is parallel parking on Rodeo Drive. For those not quite ready to shell out the huge dollars, the Range Rover Sport is a fine choice too. Courtney Cox, Gwen Stefani and Pamela Anderson were spotted with their children on Range Rover.
The Cadillac Escalade is the perfect option for your growing family, with an available third row and more LCD screens. The Cadillac rolled out a hybrid version of the Escalade that should boost city mileage up to 20 mpg, meaning more money available to you for lavishing on your kids.Brook Bourke and Heidi Klum were very enjoyed driving their Cadillac Escalade. Travis Barker’s son received enough gifts to stock a large orphanage, Travis filled an entire Escalade transporting the gifts home.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been particularly popular among celebrity parents . It is the über-SUV built for major off-roading, capable of far more than any parent will ever demand of it.Still used actively by 28 different military forces, what more do you need about unique safety feature ? Brooke Shields and Diane Keaton were very comfortable with their Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Many celebrity parents choose a crossover—variously called CUV or crossover utility vehicle—is a marketing term for a vehicle that derives from a car platform while borrowing features from a SUV.The CUV has been popular for those who wants to see something a bit different.
The broad spectrum of CUVs or crossovers includes:
- Compact sedan-derived CUVs: e.g., Honda CR-V comes from honda civic platform.
- Mid-sized sedan-derived CUV’s: e.g., Lexus RX which Ben Afleck‘s owned and Nissan Murano which Naomi Watts‘ owned.
- Full-sized sedan-derived CUVs: Mercedes-Benz GL-Class which Will Smith spotted with.
- Station wagon- or hatchback-derived CUVs: e.g., Subaru Outback which Sheryl Crow has.
- Minivan-like CUVs: e.g., mazda 5 or mazda premacy.
Unlike other celebrity parents who mostly choose SUVs, Sarah Jessica Parker and her son have made a conscious choice to ride the Toyota Prius to school.
Lucky for celebrity (and non-celebrity) parents who wants to “Go Green”, the options for hybrids gasoline-electric car are growing rapidly.
In addition for those who love full-sized sedan from the same Prius’ manufacturer might like toyota camry. But if budget is the most concern, probably you can test-drive a five-door hatchback subcompact like scion xd and hopefully will be fit for your small family.
